Rick Lovato Hopes To Avoid The Spotlight After Winning Long Snapper Job

is saving the spotlight for someone else.

The Eagles' new long snapper steps in after the team parted ways with Jon Dorenbos – a relationship that lasted 11 seasons and 162 games. The unavoidable reality remains, however, that the Eagles did what was best for the organization in acquiring a 2019 seventh-round draft pick for Dorenbos. The NFL is a business, and that’s just how Lovato is handling the situation.

“I’m not necessarily trying to fill his shoes because he did such a good job here,” Lovato said. “Honestly, there’s no taking anything away from him so I just want to come in here and do my job and be unnoticed and do what I have to do.
