1. Tanner Carew, SR, Oregon
Tanner Carew has been the top long snapper in the class ever since high school. He has adequate size and athleticism for the position, but probably won’t offer too much for tackling in special teams. The reason he’s a great snapper is that he never makes a mistake, snaps it hard and accurately, and plays through injuries. Consistent, tough, and reliable is all you need. He was the only long snapper at the combine and did a pretty good job in the special team drills.
