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\u2019s Long-Snapper.<\/p>\n

Long Snapping only takes place on field goals, extra points, and punts, but there\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

You talk about no respect\u2026the highest drafted Long Snapper in the entire history of the NFL was with the 142nd<\/sup> pick. In 2003, the Browns took Ryan Pontbriand in the fifth round that year.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
