The purpose of Longsnap.com is to celebrate the anonymous heroes of football, the long snapper.

I was recently contacted by an amateur songwriter, Elliot Kramer, who also fell in love with the unique aspects of this position. Kramer decided to write a song about it and the lyrics are below.

He is looking for some current NFL long snappers that are interested in appearing in an upcoming video he is making to lip synch some of the lines.

If any NFL snapper is interested, contact me at kevingold@longsnap.com and I will connect you.

Long Snapper

Verse1:

Long snapping a football

I’m sure you will agree

Is a vital vocation

In our economy

Million dollar salary

You might not know his name

Because he only gets used

For six plays a game

Chorus:

Long Snapper

(Monday morning he’s never sore 

His jersey’s not in the team store

Only gets Pro Bowl write-in votes

Who’s that guy on the Super Bowl float?)

Verse2:

He isn’t the kicker

They don’t let him throw

But you better believe

He’s worth this much dough

If a kick is missed because

He snapped it high or low

Fans will curse and demand 

The team let him go

Bridge:

Would you have guessed

He makes more than all of Congress 

No one would vent

That he outearns the President

He gets double a surgeon

Six times Chief of Police

Yet when he gets signed

There’s no news press release
