There are many unrecognized positions in the NFL. Most refer to the Offensive Line as the unsung heroes on a team. On Special Teams, the most unsung position typically isn’t even listed as a need or even an official position. It’s not the kicker, punter or long snapper. Adam Sandler made a great song about the “Lonesome Kicker”, but the gunner never gets mentioned at all. If the kicker is lonesome then the gunner is a complete enigma. It is very likely that some people reading this are still going, “What the heck is a gunner?” Well, the Colts had a player that brought attention to this common omission.
