Elite athletes are great no matter what sports you make them play. In today’s era where sports are seeing monstrous fan bases, every sport has notable names that you think about playing the game. In this era, we have LeBron James and Stephen Curry still ruling the NBA despite being a generation old. The soccer fanbase is still 50% Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. However, a new generation is getting ready to take the torch off the hands of legends. Two such names are French soccer prodigy Kylian Mbappe and 2021 Super Bowl Champion and MVP Cooper Kupp.
Both are taking their respective sports to the storm but, what about playing each other’s sports? After the wrap of FIFA WC, almost Champion and golden boot winner Kylian Mbappe came to the USA for a project.

As one fan hilariously pointed out, it was indeed “Football x Handegg”. Fans were talking more about their skills. Even Mbappe tried kicking the football but, he is a soccer star, at the very least he knows a thing or two about kicking. What Kupp did surprised fans more than anything.
