Ross Robert Verba (born October 31, 1973 in Des Moines, Iowa) is an American professional football player currently is a free agent. A 6'4", 305-lb. guard from the University of Iowa, Verba was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the 1st round (30th overall) of the 1997 NFL Draft.

Verba was the first rookie to ever start a Super Bowl at left tackle, when the Packers faced the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXXII. He played four seasons for the Packers from 1997-2000 and five with the Cleveland Browns from 2001-2005.

Verba came into the league talking about religion and later had an affinity for partying with celebrities like Paris Hilton among others.

On January 4, 2007, Verba has been arrested on a felony warrant for writing bad checks in Nevada. He was eventually released and has resolved his outstanding debt with a Las Vegas establishment.

On February 28, 2007, the Lions released Verba.
