Who is Ireland's next NFL kicker? Tadhg Leader of Leader Kicking puts Ireland's top athletes through the Novibet Kicking Challenge

Novibet, the leading GameTech company with a significant presence in the Irish market, has launched a new video series in partnership with Tadhg Leader of Leader Kicking, sharing the inspiring stories of elite, exceptionally talented Irish athletes.

The series zooms in on the inside stories of top-performing Irish stars in rugby and Gaelic football, as well as social media influencers, to find out who will be crowned the Novibet Kicking Challenge winner.

The series was inspired by the likes of Rory Beggan's exploits in the NFL Combine, where he was joined by fellow inter-county keepers Down's Charlie Smyth and Wicklow's Mark Jackson as they aimed for lucrative NFL contracts.

One Irishman who already made the jump, Co. Down goalkeeper Charlie Smyth, has just signed a new contract with the New Orleans Saints, making him Ireland's first NFL athlete. Who will be next to head across the pond?

Kicking off the series were Mayo Gaelic footballers Aidan O'Shea and Lee Keegan, who talk about their careers and passion for NFL, while we find out how their kicking abilities stack up against professional placekickers with the NFL in the Novibet Kicking Challenge. How close are our home-grown Irish athletes to making it in the NFL?

Ulster rugby legend John Cooney and Derry midfield dynamo Conor Glass also join Tadhg as they try to surpass the best kicker in NFL history, Justin Tucker - who recorded a breaking kick from 66 yards!

Rounding out the star lineup are media fitness influencer Shane Rice, Dublin’s Cormac Costello, NFL nut and gaming streamer Aaron Turner (aarontheloco) and Kerry legend Paudie Clifford. They all compete to see who will be crowned the Novibet Kicking Challenge winner, and who could realistically make in the NFL.
