@D2Football You forgot a Long Snapper on Special Teams

[Mike Rittelmann @MRittCGS]

One of the most overlooked positions in football is also one of the most important

A long snapper may only be involved in a handful of plays each game, but every snap directly impacts field position, scoring opportunities, and the success of the entire kicking operation. One inaccurate snap can lead to a blocked punt, missed field goal, turnover, or game changing mistake. That’s why coaches and personnel departments place such a premium on consistency and reliability at the position

From a scouting perspective, the evaluation starts with accuracy, snap velocity, and repeatable mechanics

The best long snappers consistently deliver a catchable ball with proper location, tight rotation, and the velocity needed to keep the operation on schedule

After the snap, they must quickly establish leverage, anchor against interior pressure, protect the A gaps, then transition into coverage while maintaining athleticism, balance, and body control. Hidden yardage created through disciplined protection, sound coverage, and tackling can have a significant impact over the course of a season

At the college level, coaches look for prospects who demonstrate consistent execution over hundreds of live snaps, not just impressive performances at specialist camps. They value football intelligence, coachability, mental toughness, communication, functional strength, length, flexibility, and the athletic ability to protect and cover. Programs want players who eliminate negative plays and provide confidence that the kicking operation will function efficiently in every situation

The best long snappers rarely receive headlines because their job is measured by consistency rather than statistics. Their value comes from executing the routine at an elite level, minimizing mistakes, and allowing the punter, holder, kicker, and protection unit to operate with complete confidence

Oh, @McDonalds Sausage McMuffin with Egg. You've been a loyal friend since freshman year in 1984 at @HeidelbergU. 42 years of consistency. In a world of change, disloyal relationships, and food shrinkage, you've been a constant. These days, a road trip comfort on drives like today from Buffalo to New England. Thank you for never changing. You're a morning Mark Knopfler guitar riff settling in the soul and encouraging feelings of possibility, hope, friends, and a fresh start. Yes, "everyday is a fresh start." There's your goddamn breakfast slogan Micky D's. Sell with your soul. Dig deep for your purpose. And always keep searching for "home." And like T.S. Eliot wrote--"We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time." Love life's rich pageant. It's not where you're drafted, it's the consistent laying of asphalt to and for your road back home. Love, BucciMane. Buffalo, NY 6/27/26. 🫶🏻❤️Viggo Björck will be Sausage McMuffin with egg. ✈️

This box is very special to me and has a lot of family ties... It's the FREEMONT ROSS LITTLE GIANTS!

My dad got his first ever coaching job here back in the 50s and I was born just right down the road.

Thank you to @FRHS_Athletics for this great box, always rooting for you!

Happy “Agony of Defeat Guy” Day if you’re observing it.

56 years ago today, March 21, 1970, a 22-year old Slovenian ski jumper Vinko Bogataj took the iconic spill at the World Ski Jumping Championships in West Germany.

High school long snappers,

The best way to boost your recruiting and getting your name on the radar is to attend college camps and put on a show in front of the coaches.

Coaches rely on their in-person evaluation.

You need to snap very well, shake hands and network in person.

Hard to explain how locked in as a viewer you were when Powerball came on in American Gladiators

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

Super Sky Point to Demond Wilson, the man who made Lamont Sanford the 70s’ most legendary “Big Dummy.” Ask St. Peter for a bottle of Ripple because Fred, Grady, and Bubba are waiting to welcome you. #RIP
