Tracy Rocker
Tracy Quinton Rocker (born April 9, 1966) is an American football coach and former player who most recently served as the defensive line coach for the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League (NFL). He played as a defensive tackle in the NFL.
After playing college football for the Auburn Tigers as a three-time All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) selection (1986–1988), Rocker moved on to the Washington Redskins in the NFL for two seasons (1989–90). The 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m), 288 lb (131 kg) lineman was a major disappointment in his brief pro career, in which he registered 3.0 sacks and one fumble recovery in 24 games, 17 of them starts.
In 1993, Rocker was chosen for the Auburn Team of the Century. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame by the National Football Foundation in December 2004, and one year later, he was afforded the same honor by the Alabama state Sports Hall of Fame.
Rocker played high school football under coach Willie Hunter at Fulton High School in Atlanta, which later merged with Walter F. George High School to become South Atlanta High School.
Rocker was a two-time All-American at Auburn, which he led to a pair of Southeastern Conference titles. In 1988, the senior was named SEC Player of the Year and awarded the Lombardi Award and Outland Trophy, the first player in the conference to achieve the feat. He finished his career with 354 tackles, 21 sacks and 48 tackles for loss.
Despite robust success in college, Rocker wasn't selected until the third round of the 1989 NFL draft by the Washington Redskins. Six games into his first season, Rocker assumed a starter role. The retirement of Dave Butz coupled with a knee injury to Markus Koch prompted the move. While not dominant, he showed enough flashes to be named to three Rookie of the Year teams.
After only two seasons with the Redskins, Rocker was released by the team. When no other NFL organization expressed interest in his services, he concluded his playing career with a one-year stint with the Orlando Thunder in the World League of American Football.
Rocker returned to Auburn to complete his undergraduate degree in 1992 and began his coaching career with the Auburn High School Tigers the same year. After serving two seasons as defensive coordinator at the school, he spent three years as a defensive line coach at West Alabama (1994–96).
