Are you a true football nerd? Do the tiny yet vital details of the sport fascinate you? If so, then this piece is for you! A couple years ago I developed a bulletproof and ingenious methodology to rank all the active long snappers in the NFL (credit where credit is due, I was inspired and built the system on the shoulders of this guy). For this study I only included active players who are currently signed with a team. Here's the basic rundown of the points system:
Game played = 1 point
Unassisted tackle = 1 point
Assisted tackle = one half point
Bad snap = -20 points
Recover fumble = 5 points
Force fumble = 10 points
Pro Bowl honor = 15 points
(for the humor impaired: this article is for FUN and to give a few basic stats on which long snappers have actually accomplished something)
Here's the ranking:
