Falcons LS Josh Harris talks long career as long snapper in Atlanta

Without looking it up, can you tell me who the last long snapper for the Atlanta Falcons was before Josh Harris? Probably not.

The long snapper position is one of the most important positions in football, and is also one that is regularly forgotten about. For some reading this, it’s possible that this is the first time you’ve heard of Josh Harris. Since 2012, Harris has served as the Falcons long snapper, assisting the team in some of the best moments in franchise history. He won a collegiate national championship in 2010 while at Auburn, and signed with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent in 2012.
