Every Australian NFL Player 2025

18/09/2025|SB Staff|NFL News
<p>With the 2025-26 NFL season in full swing, we thought we’d take a look at all the Aussies abroad, who are currently plying their trade at an NFL franchise.</p> <p>That’s right, we’re good at more than just Rugby League, AFL, and Cricket, we can mix it up with the Yanks too.</p> <p>Unsurprisingly, we’re best with our boots and Aussie punters are easily our biggest exports in the NFL. Speaking of Aussies punters, we thought we’d keep all of you up to date with every Australian NFL player in 2025. Check them out below!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Every Active Australian in the NFL for 2025</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Jordan Mailata</h3> <p><strong>Team: </strong>Philadelphia Eagles.</p> <p><strong>Position:</strong> Left Tackle.</p> <p><strong>From: </strong>Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.</p> <p>Beginning with the biggest and the best. Arguably the most recognisable Australian in the NFL is Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Jordan Mailata.</p> <p>This season will be Mailata’s eighth in the NFL, after he signed with the Eagles in 2018. A former rugby league product who played for both Canterbury and South Sydney’s youth teams, Mailata decided his hulking 166kg frame was better suited to protected quarterbacks.</p> <p>He was a key cog in the Eagles side that won the Super Bowl last year, giving QB Jalen Hurts the protection a QB of his talent deserves.</p> <p>In 2021 Mailata signed a four-year $64 million contract extension with Philadelphia, making him not only one of the highest paid Australian NFL players, but Australian athletes in general.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Daniel Faalele</h3> <p><strong>Team: </strong>Baltimore Ravens.</p> <p><strong>Position: </strong>Offensive Tackle.</p> <p><strong>From: </strong>Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.</p> <p>Another big boy who seems to be following in the footsteps of Mailata is Baltimore Ravens’ offensive tackle Daniel Faalele.</p> <p>He’s played 49 games for the Ravens over the past four seasons, since being drafted in 2022.</p> <p>In his first three seasons at the Ravens, he only made four as a starter, but everything changed last year, as he was part of the run on side 14 times.</p> <p>Also, you thought Mailata was big? Fallele weighs in at 174 kg making him the heaviest rostered player in the NFL.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Laki Tasi</h3> <p><strong>Team: </strong>Las Vegas Raiders.</p> <p><strong>Position: </strong>Offensive Tackle.</p> <p><strong>From: </strong>Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.</p> <p>He may have only started playing American Football last year but softly spoken 21-year-old Laki Tasi now finds himself on the books of an NFL franchise.</p> <p>Listed at a mind-blowing 373 pounds (169kg!) don’t let his gentle nature off the field fool you, he can damn near tackle someone in half.</p> <p>That will indeed be his job, should he break into the Raiders main squad. Laki Tasi certainly has all the makings of the next ‘big’ thing to come out of Australia and into the NFL.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Michael Dickson</h3> <p><strong>Team:</strong> Seattle Seahawks.</p> <p><strong>Position: </strong>Punter.</p> <p><strong>From: </strong>Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.</p> <p>The first of many punters on this list, Michael Dickson is the Seattle Seahawks main man when it comes to letting fly with the boot.</p> <p>The former Sydneysider is regarded as one of the best punters in the league and his career punt average of 47.7 yards per punt ranks as the highest in NFL history.</p> <p>He is currently in the midst of a four-year extension worth $13 million, which he signed back in 2021.</p> <p>No doubt the Seahawks will be eager to secure his services as soon as they can to ensure he remains putting boot to ball for them for the foreseeable future.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Tory Taylor</h3> <p><strong>Team: </strong>Chicago Bears.</p> <p><strong>Position: </strong>Punter.</p> <p><strong>From: </strong>Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.</p> <p>One of the newer Aussies on the NFL block, 28-year-old Punter Tory Taylor joined the big leagues in 2024 with the Chicago Bears.</p> <p>When he was taken in the fourth round of the draft as the 122nd overall pick, Taylor became the highest selected Punter since 2019.</p> <p>He signed a four-year rookie contract with the Bears and has quickly made his presence felt in Chicago.</p> <p>It only took him four weeks of his first season to earn the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after a particularly potent punting performance against the Rams.</p> <p>With a boot like his, the sky appears to be the limit for both the ball and Taylor himself in the NFL.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Jeremy Crawshaw</h3> <p><strong>Team:</strong> Denver Broncos.</p> <p><strong>Position: </strong>Punter.</p> <p><strong>From: </strong>Penrith, New South Wales, Australia.</p> <p>The latest Aussie punter to join the NFL, Penrith product Jeremy Crawshaw was selected by the Denver Broncos on the sixth round of this year’s draft.</p> <p>He probably grew up thinking he’d be putting up bombs for the Panthers one day, but seeing as Nathan Cleary seems to have that covered, he’ll instead be trying to become the first choice punter for Denver.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Patrick Murtagh</h3> <p><strong>Team: </strong>Denver Broncos.</p> <p><strong>Position: </strong>Tight End.</p> <p><strong>From: </strong>Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.</p> <p>Joining Crawshaw at the Broncos this year is towering Tight End Patrick Murtagh. The 25-year-old from the Gold Coast has been chasing his NFL dream for a few years now and was previously on the books of both the Detroit Lions and the Jacksonville Jaguars.</p> <p>After being waived by Jacksonville earlier this year, the 6’6’ Murtagh was signed by the Broncos to their practice squad and will be hoping to make this the year he breaks through into the big time.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Thomas Yassmin</h3> <p><strong>Team:</strong> Los Angeles Chargers.</p> <p><strong>Position: </strong>Tight End.</p> <p><strong>From:</strong> Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.</p> <p>Once a Rugby Union prodigy, Thomas Yassmin decided to pack his bags for the US of A and try his luck at Gridiron while at college in Utah.</p> <p>That turned out to be quite a good decision, as he now finds himself as part of the Los Angeles Chargers practice squad as a Tight End.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Luke Felix-Fualalo</h3> <p><strong>Team: </strong>Philadelphia Eagles.</p> <p><strong>Position: </strong>Offensive Tackle.</p> <p><strong>From:</strong> Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.</p> <p>From idolising Jordan Mailata to now being contracted to the same franchise as him, it’s been quite a rise for Brisbane’s Luke Felix-Fualalo.</p> <p>After being waived by the Seattle Seahawks, the 23-year-old Tight End was picked up as a member of the Eagles practice squad.</p> <p>No doubt he’ll be gunning to win a place in their main squad alongside his hero Mailata and one day also win a Super Bowl.</p> <p>Wondering if any of these Aussies and the sides they play for have a shot at this season’s Super Bowl?
