Rolando Cantú (born February 25, 1981) is a former Mexican-born football offensive guard, who played for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League. He is the first Mexican-born non-kicker and Mexican-born player not to attend a college in the United States before playing in the NFL.

Professional career

He mostly spent time in the Cardinal's practice squad, before being promoted to the active roster in 2005 and making one game appearance against the Indianapolis Colts.
