00:01Alex Freeman has built his reputation as one of the USMNT's most exciting young defenders,
00:07but a training session revealed that he may have another position in him.
00:10The 22-year-old Villarreal fullback briefly stepped between the posts
00:13and showed off his goalkeeping skills as the United States prepared to face Mexico.
00:28Freeman looked comfortable reacting to shots, offering another glimpse of the athleticism
00:33that has made him a rising figure under Mauricio Pochettino.
00:36That versatility should not be too surprising.
00:38Freeman is the son of Antonio Freeman, the former Green Bay Packers receiver who won Super
00:44Bowl XXXI. Alex chose soccer instead of following his father into the NFL, and is officially
00:49listed as a defender on the United States roster.
00:52His unexpected turning goal added a lighter moment before Saturday's rivalry match at
00:57State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
