Former Collingwood and Carlton AFL player Chris Bryan is the 8th Australian to make the transition to the NFL after scoring a 3 year deal with the Green Bay Packers in March 2010.
Bryan tried out before NFL scouts from several clubs in early March before being snapped up by the Packers, who have been searching for a consistent punter for several seasons.
Bryan becomes the fourth player to make the transition from AFL player to NFL punter, following in footsteps of Darren Bennett, Ben Graham and Sav Rocca.
