Who is Ben Graham?

Ben Graham is a former professional Australian rules footballer turned professional American football punter for the Detroit Lions of the National Football League.

The left-footer played for the New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, and Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League in the United States.

Graham's 219 game Australian Rules career was played exclusively at the Geelong Football Club in the Australian Football League between 1993 and 2004. As an Aussie Rules player, Graham was long noted for his ability to kick extraordinarily long distances with accuracy. This is one of the key reasons that he was believed to have potential as a professional NFL punter.

He is the only player to be named a captain of both an AFL and NFL side. During his career he has played in the biggest game in two codes, the AFL Grand Final and the Super Bowl. He was the first Australian to have played in a Super Bowl.
