Rockne Crowningburg Freitas (September 7, 1945 – June 8, 2022)[1] was an American professional football player who was an offensive tackle for the Detroit Lions and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in an eleven-year career that lasted from 1968 to 1978 in the National Football League (NFL).
Freitas played college football at Oregon State University and was drafted in the third round of the 1967 NFL/AFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was selected to the Pro Bowl after the 1972 season. His son Makoa was selected in the 2003 NFL draft by the Indianapolis Colts.
