‘Super Competitive’ Colin Holba Has Big Shoes To Fill At Long Snapper

It’s something that the majority of football fans spend virtually no time at all thinking about, but the Pittsburgh Steelers have reason to ponder it this year: are they going to be able to see consistent play from the long snapper position in 2017?

They really haven’t had to ask this question in over a decade, having had Greg Warren in place for so long. Even for the parts of two seasons that he missed, they had Jared Retkofsky at the ready to fill in. but this year, with Warren de facto retired due to health concerns after multiple knee tears, they are moving on to Colin Holba, drafted in the sixth round.
