We are seven weeks into the NFL season and the snapping position continues to be stable and without any changes.
The most notable snapping event this week was likely created by Myles Garrett of the Browns, who leaped over Colts’ long snapper Luke Rhodes to block a 60-year field goal attempt. Recall any contact with the snapper would have been a penalty.
Garrett was asked about the difficulty of making the leap without making any contact with the snapper and he offered this great quote, “Depends if you’re me or not…If you’re me, it’s another day at the office.”
Two snappers recorded tackles in punt coverage this week and both are from UCF. Charley Hughlett (Browns) and Alex Ward (Rams) each had an assisted tackle. For Ward, it was the first tackle of his career.
