Rubio Long Snappers Face Off in the NFL

December 23, 2012 By

Two former #1 Rubio Long Snappers, Christian Yount (2006) and Aaron Brewer (2008),  will face each other today when the Cleveland Browns travel to the Denver Broncos.

Both of these men are terrific people and obviously exquisite Long Snappers. I am pulling for a 0-0 tie with a ton of punt snaps:)

Enjoy this video of Christian snapping below….

Guess where they both got noticed…..

Rubio Long Snapper Carson Tinker of Alabama chosen for The Senior Bowl!

December 21, 2012 By

Long time Rubio Long Snapper Carson Tinker of the University of Alabama has been selected to play in The Senior Bowl!

According to The Senior Bowl website:

The Senior Bowl is home to a one-of-a-kind NFL Convention. In addition to the two NFL coaching staffs who coach the two Senior Bowl teams each year, over 800 NFL general managers, head coaches, assistant coaches, personnel directors, scouts and other front office personnel from the 32 NFL teams annually attend Senior Bowl Week in Mobile.

Coaching staffs for the game each year are selected by the NFL office. In addition to the coaches, each NFL team chosen by the league to coach the Senior Bowl teams also brings its training, video and equipment staffs to the contest to work with the Senior Bowl players and maximize the many benefits that the players will receive by playing in the contest.

Tinker started attending Rubio Long Snapping camps back in 2007 (profile pic is above), dominated the Spring Event in 2008 and ended up a 5 Star Long Snapper that headed to Alabama. He has gone through a ton in his life and just continues to be a positive role model for Long Snappers, and your average Joes, around the U.S.

Here is a video of Tinker in May, on a break from instructing, showing off at the 10th Annual National Kicking and Snapping Spring Event in Las Vegas.

What About the Long Snapper?

December 20, 2012 By

They rarely get a mention even when they do their jobs perfectly. Make a mistake however, and they are usually blasted on replays. It’s life in the world of perhaps the most under-appreciated position in all of sports. Welcome to the world of football’s Long-Snapper.

Long Snapping only takes place on field goals, extra points, and punts, but there’s probably more to this job than you think. Consider that a Long Snapper is playing the important role of center while he is in. While an extra point or field goal requires a snap of about 7 yards, a punt will require a snap of twice that distance. That’s not all either, after snapping the ball he has to block a player who gets much more playing time than he does, and on punts he also has to run and cover the kick.

You talk about no respect…the highest drafted Long Snapper in the entire history of the NFL was with the 142nd pick. In 2003, the Browns took Ryan Pontbriand in the fifth round that year.

Next time you see those dramatic game winning field goals, take time to pay homage to that invisible gladiator of the gridiron, that unsung pilot of the pigskin, the Long Snapper.

NFL Long Snapper Prospect Brandon Hartson

December 18, 2012 By

NFL Long Snapper prospect Brandon Hartson recently finished his college career with the University of Houston and came out to get a lesson with me in Lewiston, ID to get fine-tuned for his Pro Day at Houston.

Right off the bat, it is easy to see that Brandon passes the eye ball test very quickly. He is an easy 6’2″ and right at 250 with no visible extra weight on him. He is built like a rock and extremely flexible as well. Even though he has gone through a lot in his life, he has one of the best overall attitudes I have ever encountered with a Long Snapper. Brandon is one of those people in life that ooze positivity. Great person to be around and a team will be fortunate to have him on their roster on his demeanor alone.

In regards to snapping, Brandon is very sharp. He snaps a smooth ball that is fast, yet still easy to catch. He averages right at .7 and is extremely accurate, which is easily what the NFL wants in a Long Snapper. I don’t believe I moved my feet one time to catch a ball throughout the entire day. He picked up blocking very well and, once he gets his large hands on you, it is over. PATs were like a machine and there is no issue at all there.

Bottom line, a very solid NFL prospect for Long Snapper that has the ability to play for many years in the league.

Two Rubio Long Snappers Signed as Free Agents

July 26, 2011 By

The NFL lockout officially ended on Monday morning and two long time Rubio Long Snappers were picked up almost immediately! Congratulations go out to Corey Adams of Kansas St and Christian Yount of UCLA. I have known and trained both of them for over 6 years and I can tell you that you simply won’t find two better and more loyal guys. How highly do I think of these two fine young gentleman? Put it this way, they were on a very short list that were invited to my wedding.

Here is some background on both….

Corey Adams played his high school football at a very small school outside of Denver, CO called Lewis Palmer HS. He was the first player ever offered a scholarship from there to play football (side note: well done to Kansas St). He was a TOP 12 member and the number one Long Snapper in his graduating class (2007). He went his entire four years at Kansas St without a single bad snap. Corey has helped out at the January and May Vegas Events for the past four years and has always done a terrific job.

Fun Fact: It was actually a little tricky making Corey’s high school highlight tape as his punter was too scared to catch his fast snaps. The punter was often caught on tape backing up to 18 yards or simply dropping them.

Check out this newscast of Corey in high school and look for a great cameo in it!

Christian Yount played his high school football at Tesoro HS in Coto de Caza, CA. He started snapping simply to get a spot on the bus (double side note: nice life changing decision). He was a TOP 12 member and the number one Long Snapper in his graduating class (2006). He was the first Long Snapper to ever be offered a full scholarship his junior year in high school. He grayshirted at UCLA and was a two time Playboy All-American (triple side note: he was also the first winner of the award).
 Fun Fact: Christian once had a football coach tell him that Long Snapping was a bad idea, he was wasting his time and they don’t give out scholarships for just that position. That guy was obviously like Nostradamus as Christian was the only one on his HS team to receive a full ride and he seems to have done pretty well for himself.

 
Best of luck to these two and I look forward to writing many more of these blogs about future Rubio Long Snappers headed to the NFL….will the next one be about you?
