Australian rules football first introduced in 1997 to the NFL by fellow Australian Darren Bennett—which improves kicking efficiency and is said to be a new introduction to the game of American football. The Jets waived Graham on 16 September 2008, but he did not miss a game: they quickly re-signed him on 22 September due to a minor injury to his replacement Reggie Hodges. Graham was released again on 29 September after Hodges recovered. New Orleans Saints On 20 October 2008, Graham signed with the New Orleans Saints to play a game in London. The team had released incumbent punter Steve Weatherford earlier in the week due to travel arrangement issues. He played just the one game, punting three times with an average of 42 yards, before being released on 29 October. He was replaced by Glenn Pakulak. Arizona Cardinals Graham was signed by the Arizona Cardinals on 1 December 2008 after the team released punter, Dirk Johnson; this was the second time that Johnson had been replaced by an Australian punter. In the NFC Championship game that year, Graham's Cardinals played the Philadelphia Eagles, whose punter, Saverio Rocca, also was an ex-AFL player from Collingwood and North Melbourne. This guaranteed that one of the two would be the first Australian to play in a Super Bowl. The Cardinals' victory presented that honour to Graham. The Cardinals released Graham on 2 September 2011, before the start of the season. But they re-signed him on 5 October; he was released again on 11 October, after one game covering for the injured Dave Zastudil. Detroit Lions On 15 November 2011, Graham signed with the Detroit Lions, replacing Robert Malone. Malone had played only one game after replacing the injured Ryan Donahue. During the 2012 preseason, Graham beat out Donahue for the starting job. On 25 September 2012, Graham was placed on the season-ending injured reserve list. Nick Harris was signed to replace Graham for the remainder of the season. He was released with an injury settlement later that season. International career In 2011 with the NFL Lockout looming, Graham announced his intention to play for the Australian National team in the 2011 IFAF World Cup, the official international American Football championship tournament. Later, he officially was added to the roster as the country's starting punter. Personal life and family Graham and his wife, Katie, have two daughters, Sophie and Rosie, and one
