The NFL loves to remind anyone who cares that a record-breaking 250,000 people lined Philadelphia’s Ben Franklin Parkway near the art museum just to be part of last spring’s draft, and since that oversized figure ensures a certain level of goofiness on the part of the audience, you’d have to presume some fractional percentage of the goofy were there to see if anyone was goofy enough to draft a long snapper.
One team was — your Pittsburgh Steelers.
Two hundred fifty-three players were drafted. One was a long snapper, a position NFL teams generally staff by any means necessary to avoid having to use an actual draft pick.
