Two Buccaneers played every single snap in 2016

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had quite a few injuries this season, but still managed two players who played the entire season without missing a single snap. No, not Jameis Winston: right guard Ali Marpet and left tackle Donovan Smith. They were two of just 34 players who didn’t miss a snap this season, per ESPN.

It’s no coincidence that both of them are offensive linemen, as the vast majority of players to play every snap across the league are linemen. Mostly because those players are almost never coming off the field unless they’re injured, while every other position except quarterback is platooned to at least a minimal extent.
