Stability at the long snapper position can go a long way for an NFL team.
Just ask the Chicago Bears, who had Patrick Mannelly holding the long snapper position down for 16 years without his botching a single snap. His presence was the most stable in an era of high-quality special teams play that saw Robbie Gould and Brad Maynard thrive with him snapping the ball to them. Other long snappers like former Cowboys great L.P. Ladouceur and former Lions stalwart Don Muhlbach provided incredible reliability and stability at the position for over 15 years.
Virginia Military Institute long snapper Robert Soderholm III has the chance to join those names in longevity and accomplishments.
