Draft Day for Long Snappers

Today is the third day of the NFL Draft and is the big one for long snappers. After at least one snapper was drafted from 2015-2021, none have been chosen in the past three years.  There is a chance that changes today. It is likely anywhere from six to eight teams may look to add a snapper, either by drafting one or as an undrafted free agent.

Looking at historical numbers, 10 snappers have been selected in the last 20 years. The highest was Joe Cardona to New England in the Fifth Round in 2015. Two decades ago, 10 were drafted in the four years from 2000-2003. None were taken in the five drafts from 2010-2014.

Just prior to the Draft, the Broncos added veteran Zach Triner, as Mitchell Fraboni is recovery from a recent medical procedure on his back.
