ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The idea initially came from Jimmy Landes’ older brother, John. He’s the one who got him started snapping footballs. John Landes said he knew the guys from Dude Perfect from a shared Bible study at Texas A&M. He saw them trying trick shots before they became famous.
So John suggested to his brother that he try to trick long-snap. John mentioned it again after Johnny Manziel, who John said grew up near the Landeses in Tyler, Texas, did a Dude Perfect video at Texas A&M. Then, John forgot about it until Jimmy called one night.
