Australians in the NFL
Jordan Mailata (Philadelphia Eagles)
The 25-year-old offensive lineman is living up to the contract that guaranteed him $A60 million – and teammates are predicting even bigger things this season.
“To see how far he’s come, I can only imagine how it was when he was first playing, especially at the NFL level,” Haason Reddick said.
“But to see him now as he continues to get more experience, he’s going to continue to get better.
“We’re already talking about how good he is – we’ll be talking about him being one of the best, if not the best.”
Arryn Siposs (Philadelphia Eagles)
Siposs followed in the footsteps of Ben Graham, Sav Rocca, Chris Bryan and Darren Bennett last year to become the latest former AFL footballers to reach the NFL.
Now he’s determined to stick around and avoid a repeat of his 2021 season, where his performances dropped off towards winter. The 29-year-old spent some of his off-season trip home to Melbourne training on the city’s windier and wetter days.
Mitch Wishnowsky (San Francisco 49ers)
The 30-year-old is entering his fourth season with the Niners but, crucially, it’s the last year of his contract.
Michael Dickson (Seattle Seahawks)
Three years removed from his All-Pro season as a rookie in 2018, he is still one of the best punters in the NFL.
Dickson has a knack for pinning the opposition inside the 20. With the Seahawks predicted to struggle this season, can he continue to give their defense a helping hand?
Cameron Johnston (Houston Texans)
One of the worst teams in the NFL has something going for it – a workhorse punter who refuses to be a weak link. Johnston kicked the most punts in the league last season and more often than not gave Houston something to work with in defense.
Adam Gotsis (Jacksonville Jaguars)
It’s been a whirlwind week for the 29-year-old, whose career was on the rocks when he was surprisingly released by the Jaguars on September 1 – and then re-signed on September 4.
Gotsis needs 11 appearances to notch up the 100-game milestone since his NFL debut with the Denver Broncos in 2016.
Daniel Faalele (Baltimore Ravens)
Australia’s biggest wildcard heading into the new season. Faalele, who weighs upwards of 170kg and is the heaviest player on an NFL roster, showed solid signs in the pre-season. We’ll see how much time he gets in the regular season.
