Are you a true football nerd? Do the tiny yet vital details of the sport fascinate you? Then this piece is for you! I've 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 have recorded stats and 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
Here's the ranking:
PLAYER | TEAM | POINTS |
Morgan Cox | Titans | 270.5 |
Jon Weeks | Texans | 253.0 |
J.J. Jansen | Panthers | 236.5 |
Josh Harris | Chargers | 191.5 |
Aaron Brewer | Cardinals | 185.0 |
Charley Hughlett | Browns | 156.5 |
James Winchester | Chiefs | 149.0 |
Luke Rhodes | Colts | 141.5 |
Andrew DePaola | Vikings | 141.0 |
Joe Cardona | Patriots | 139.0 |
Rick Lovato | Eagles | 135.5 |
Thomas Hennessy | Jets | 123.5 |
Patrick Scales | Bears | 116.5 |
Casey Kreiter | Giants | 114.0 |

Zach Wood | Saints | 102.0 |
Tyler Ott | Ravens | 83.5 |
Taybor Pepper | 49ers | 67.5 |

*Final note for the humor impaired: this article is for FUN and to give a few basic stats on which long snappers have actually accomplished something.
