Pele has revealed he was offered a playing contract by American football's New York Giants.
The Brazilian legend did play in the USA for New York Cosmos.
Speaking with ESPN Brazil, Pele says he turned down a career in the NFL with the Giants, who allegedly wanted him to be their kicker after he "did well" in a few tryouts.
The offer came after he had retired from playing the Cosmos in 1977.
