GREG Zuerlein kept his composure amid what fans labeled ‘the ultimate test’ on Sunday.
The New York Jets kicker was going about his business in warmups ahead of a clash against the Minnesota Vikings in London.
Zuerlein, 36, was nailing his kicks from midfield at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
And he was put even more to the test when he was joined by some company.
As ‘Greg the Leg’ was steadying himself for another attempt – the Vikings cheerleaders stepped right into his path.
Zuerlein was then surrounded by the cheerleading team.
The cheerleaders carried on with their routine, entertaining a 60,000-strong crowd in London, England.
But Zuerlein didn’t let the distractions stop him and his warmup.
He composed himself and took another swing at his field-goal attempt.
The clip of Zuerlein’s warm-up was posted online by the NFL’s official X account in the UK and Ireland.
And fans loved how the kicker remained in the zone.
“This was the ultimate test for Greg the Leg,” one said.
“Imagine the concentration he has to have,” another laughed.
A third wrote, “So this is what it means when someone says lock in.”
Zuerlein eventually admitted defeat as he picked up his holding tool and walked off.
