A question for everyone here? As we all know that the NBA, MLB and NHL have plenty of players brought from overseas. What about the NFL? Besides Martin GRAMATICA, is there anyone else? Please do let me know, it's just for my general knowledge:icon_question:
Morten Andersen, from Denmark is the most famous, alongside with Gary Anderson, from South Africa. They both are kickers. The most famous mexican player is Raul Allegre, former kicker for the Giant in the 80's and early 90's. He even won a Super Bowl, and now works for ESPN Latin America, and he's not that bad. Nowadays, there are two mexican offensive linemen in the league: Rolando Cantu with the Cardinals, and the other one whose name I always forget, but he plays for the Chiefs. Neither of them is a starter. Fuad Reveiz, former Vikings kicker, is from Colombia. Of course, there's Martin's brother, Bill Gramatica, who made a fool of himself tearing apart his knee while celebrating a freakin' extra point I can't think of anyone else right now... Oh, yeah!! Tony Romo and Jeff Garcia are third generation Mexican-Americans. Garcia's family is from Jalisco, and Romo's is from Chihuaha, I think. I watched an interview the other day with Romo's grandparents, who are Mexican. They're really proud of their grandchild.
Tom Nuetten was born in Germany. Father was American, mother German Dolphins once had a German K, Uwe von Schamann
Richard Tardits born in Biarritz, France played LB for the Patriots back in the early '90s. He also played for the Georgia Bulldogs where he held the record for most sacks in a career until David Pollack surpassed it in 2004. Lately, Philippe Gardent, another LB born in France, was signed by the Panthers but I would be very surprised if he made the 53-man roster.
Gardent was with the Skins all last season as part of the NFL's international player policy. He wasn't on the active roster but was allowed to practice with the team etc.
