Aldrick Rosas (born December 30, 1994) is an American football placekicker for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL). He is of Mexican descent. [1]
College career
Rosas played college football at Southern Oregon.[2]
Professional career
Tennessee Titans
Rosas signed with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted free agent on May 9, 2016.[3] On September 2, 2016, Rosas was waived by the Titans.[4]
New York Giants
On January 19, 2017, Rosas signed a reserve/future contract with the New York Giants.[5] Rosas was the only kicker on the Giants roster after Robbie Gould left via free agency, until veteran Mike Nugent signed a contract with the team on August 1, 2017.[6] Rosas ultimately won the starting kicker job after Nugent was released during final roster cuts.
On September 10, 2017, in the Giants' season-opening 19–3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Rosas converted his first NFL career field goal, which was a 25-yard attempt, in the third quarter.[7] Prior to the game, he watched his girlfriend give birth via FaceTime.[8] In Week 6, against the Denver Broncos, he converted three of four field goal attempts and two extra points in the 23–10 victory.[9]
