  • Saverio "Sav" Giovanni Rocca is a punter for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League and former Australian rules footballer for Collingwood and the Kangaroos in the Australian Football League. 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 3 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. Saverio is the older brother of Anthony Rocca and for a brief time in their careers, they both played for Collingwood, combining at centre half and full-forward. Anthony has also stated that he wishes to follow his brother into the NFL as a punter. When he converted to American Football he made the history books as the oldest rookie in the history of the NFL, taking the mantle from fellow Australian Ben Graham.
