Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas, one of the best at what he does, is rooting for Carli Lloyd, U.S. women’s national soccer team legend, to become the first female to line up for field goals, extra points and kickoffs in the NFL.

Lloyd, 37, opened eyes last Tuesday when she drilled a 55-yard field goal at a joint practice between the Ravens and Eagles. The kick was straight and true and prompted Eagles kicker Jake Elliott to exclaim, “Unreal stuff.”

That caught the attention of Rosas, who has been following Lloyd’s soccer exploits for quite some time.

“She’s a real role model to me,” Rosas said after Thursday night’s 31-29 preseason victory over the Patriots. “I saw the video of her kicking the field goals and she looks good, really good. It is impressive to see her kick like that. I have been following her and she is a great soccer player. I can’t wait to see her continue her career in whatever path she chooses.”

Rosas, 24, made the Pro Bowl last season after hitting 31 of his 32 field goal attempts in only his second year with the Giants. He believes his own soccer background helped him in the NFL and sees no reason why it will not do the same for Lloyd.

“I think as a specialist, growing up we all played soccer,” Rosas said. “I played soccer my whole life. It is an easier transition if you played soccer to go to football. It kind of makes it super easy that [the ball] is off the ground. Soccer helps a lot.”

Lloyd has not dismissed making a run at the NFL as a kicker.

“First and foremost, I’m a soccer player,” said Lloyd, who currently plays for Sky Blue FC in the National Women’s Soccer League. “I want to hopefully continue on through the Olympics. We’ll see what happens but anything is possible in life, I guess.”
