Jordan Mailata is an Australian football offensive tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2024 NFL season. Born on March 31, 1997, in Bankstown, New South Wales, Australia, Mailata was a promising rugby league player, representing the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs under-18s and the South Sydney Rabbitohs under-20s teams, before becoming a professional footballer. Despite having no prior experience in American football, Mailata caught the attention of NFL scouts through the International Player Pathway Program.

In 2024, Mailata signed another extension, a three-year deal worth $66 million with the Eagles.
