The long-snapper: How to anonymously make $1 million in the NFL

CINCINNATI -- Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick was heading out of a meeting one day when he spotted long-snapper Clark Harris chatting with the other specialists.

Kirkpatrick started to wonder what kinds of things a long-snapper would discuss in a meeting.

“How much time do you [need] to know that you’ve just got to snap the ball?" Kirkpatrick asked.

Kirkpatrick decided he had no idea what snappers actually do all day. He doesn't see them post workout videos on social media, like the Steelers' James Harrison does. So their time doesn't seem consumed by working out.
