An Australian NFL rookie dubbed the 'Down Under Destroyer' has continued to stun American fans with another freakish play.

Sydney-born Michael Dickson, 22, landed a 'perfect punt' for his team Seattle Seahawks in their clash with league-leaders LA Rams on Sunday.

With the Seahawks' special teams taking to the field on fourth down, Dickson punted from Seattle's 43-yard line and landed the ball just one yard from the Rams' end zone.

The ball bounced back to allow one of his teammates to mark it down on the Rams' two yard line.

The incredible kick meant the Rams were pinned against their own goal line with 26 seconds left and forced to take a knee to run out the rest of the first half.

The punt was analysed by two-time Pro Bowl punter Pat McAfee who shared his lounge room commentary on Twitter.

For those confused by the NFL lingo, the hilarious analysis helps to explain the hype the Sydney-born sportsman continues to generate.

'Now they're on the 43 yard line, what can you do with it, Down Under Destroyer, Michael Dickson?' McAfee questioned over the television.

'Oh, a perfect punt. Perfect! A perfect punt. Bounce at the one (yard line), check back, dot it at the two. It's unbelievable!

'This dude is changing the game, that is perfection! Boom, at the one and a half. Let me put a little backspin on there like it's my wedge, come one back he says, pull the string.

'Yeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhh! Round of applause to me, it was awesome, he says,'

This is not the first time the Sydney-born sportsman has turned heads in NFL circles (pictured with his girlfriend)

The perfect punt comes a week after Dickson was touted to be picked for the Pro Bowl in his rookie season

The perfect punt comes a week after Dickson was touted to be picked for the Pro Bowl in his rookie season.

The Pro Bowl is an all-star game of NFL where top players are chosen from the leagues' two conferences based on their performance during the season.

Ben Graham, the only Australian punter to play in a Super Bowl, told Wide World of Sports he believed Dickson was a favourite.

'The way the Pro Bowl works, it's a third of the fan vote, a third of the media and a third of the players. So sometimes it can be swayed by popular opinion and in Michael Dickson's case, based on what he's done so far this year, he's a shoe-in,' Graham said.

'He has brought the position of punter to life based on what he's been able to do on the field.

Graham said that while Australian boys grow up kicking footballs NFL coaches sometimes turn them into robotic and technical punters.

'Michael has been able to use some of his instincts to kick it away from the returner to really give the opposition something to think about,' Graham said.
