Brandon Aubrey is one of only two players to ever appear in both the Madden NFL video game and the FIFA soccer video game.
The Dallas Cowboys kicker has a much better rating in Madden than in FIFA.
The combination factoid went viral on X this week:

Former Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo also appeared in both games.
Aubrey was a soccer player his whole life. He played collegiately at Notre Dame and then was a first-round draft pick of Toronto FC.
He never made it into the first team for Toronto, though, and eventually took up placekicking.
He had to kick in the USFL for the Birmingham Stallions to prove himself. Once he did that, the Cowboys gave him a chance.
Since Aubrey came to the NFL, he's been one of the league's best kickers, accurate even beyond 60 yards.
His lifetime field goal percentage ranks second in league history, behind just Cameron Dicker.
Not bad for a guy who was a 60 overall in FIFA.
