“So, you’re a kicker?”
I get so many different variations of this question when telling people I’m a college long snapper at the University of Rhode Island and explaining what exactly it is I do.
Long snapping is one of the biggest obscurities in the game of football. Many fans are unfamiliar with the position or what their role is on a football team.
It’s not often that we notice the snap of the ball on fourth down, or what a long snapper does afterward. With the success rate of snappers, it is almost assumed the ball will get to the punter or holder without any issues.
