  • Saverio Giovanni "Sav" Rocca (born November 20, 1973) is an Australian born American football punter who is currently a free agent. He made his NFL debut playing for the Philadelphia Eagles. Prior to joining the NFL, Rocca was an Australian rules footballer for Collingwood and North Melbourne in the Australian Football League (AFL). He is one of the few players who have converted from professional Australian rules football to professional American football. During his time in the Australian Football League, he became one of the most successful goalkickers in the history of the competition. In a career which spanned 14 years, he ranked 13th in the AFL all-time goalkicking records. While he averaged just under three goals a game, he was noted more for his ability to kick accurately from great distances which ultimately led to his trial for the Eagles. When he converted to American football, he made history as the oldest rookie in the history of the NFL, taking the mantle from fellow Australian Ben Graham.
