Former AFL players have sought a new career in the NFL as a punter over the years, but the chance to play in the NFL could be open to more than recently retired or recently delisted AFL players. Those who fail to get drafted to the AFL could seek a career in the NFL.
Following some of the names that have gone and played in the United States in American Football, the first player to do this was Pat O'Dea who went from the then Melbourne in the VFL, to playing at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he excelled in the kicking game. He then served as the head football coach at the University of Notre Dame from 1900 to 1901 and at the University of Missouri in 1902, compiling a career college football record of 19–7–2. O'Dea was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a player in 1962.
