Saverio Rocca Signs Contract With the Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL
From NFL.COM.
NFL.COM Transactions Page.
It is the biggest NFL transaction of the day, Rocca has joined the Eagles. Training camp is around May and June and he will have to prove himself in the camp, and possibly a preseason game too, to stay with the team. But the Eagles' current punter doesn't have the biggest foot so Rocca is a big chance.
Rocca won't have a problem with kicking long, and he should be good at producing hang-time as well. But to stay with the team he will have to kick the ball consistently, as one bad punt can change a game. Another thing Rocca might want to learn is how to hold the ball for the field goal kicker, this is a task that is often assigned to the punter or a backup quarterback, Ben Graham does this with the Jets so it isn't too hard. If he watched Ace Ventura: Pet Detective then he knows the important part of that, laces out.

Rocca might have to make it to a second year to get the big money, but right now the chances of that seem very good.
