New York Giants

2017 season

On January 19, 2017, Rosas signed a reserve/future contract with the New York Giants. [6] Rosas was the only kicker on the Giants roster after former Giants' placekicker Robbie Gould agreed to a two-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers, [7] until veteran Mike Nugent signed a contract with the team on August 1, 2017. [8] 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, a 25-yard attempt, in the third quarter. [9] Prior to the game, he watched his girlfriend, Tiffany Lopez, give birth via FaceTime. [10]

Rosas finished the season with a 72% field goal conversion rate (31st in the league) and an 87% PAT conversion rate (last in the league). [11]

2018 season

Rosas retained his starting job with the Giants for the 2018 season. He vastly improved on his rookie season, becoming a Pro Bowl selection, converting 32 of 33 field goal attempts and 31 of 32 PATs, with his only missed PAT due to a poor snap. He was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his Week 13 performance against the Chicago Bears where he converted three field goals, including a New York Giants franchise record 57-yarder and the game-winning 44-yard field goal in overtime. [12]

On December 18, 2018, Rosas was named to his first Pro Bowl, [13] and on January 4, 2019, Rosas was named a Second-team All-Pro for 2018.

[16] On July 15, 2020, Rosas was formally charged with three misdemeanors in the Superior Court of California for an alleged high-speed hit-and-run that led to his arrest on June 16.
