Traits That Make a Long Snapper Prospect Great
Long snappers don’t get any attention from the average fan, but every team needs one that never makes a mistake. Snap speed, consistent accuracy, and coverage ability are among some of the most important factors when scouting the top long snapper draft prospects.
Some of the factors we consider when scouting are included below.
Snap Time
Snap time, the length of time from first movement until the holder or punter catches the ball, is constantly timed. If you’re able to consistently snap in the 0.65 second range, you’re giving your kicker or punter plenty of time to get their kick off before the defense gets to them.
Consistency
The other major trait for successful long snappers is consistent accuracy. You can’t have a single botched snap as a long snapper. If you ever miss, it better be by about 6″ or less, otherwise you failed to give your team a chance. If you make more than a mistake or two as a draft hopeful deep snapper, you likely won’t be getting another chance.
Tackling
Long snappers can be a valuable part of the punt coverage unit. While they don’t necessarily need to be elite athletes, having someone with decent movement skills and the ability to consistently complete tackles will give your special teams a boost.
Blocking
Blocking isn’t as important as you might think for long snappers because of the protections placed on them, but being able to hold your ground after a snap can make a difference.
Overall Opinion of the 2025 Long Snapper Draft Class
There’s still time for things to change, but I’m not overly impressed with anyone in this draft class. Even though there’s a few more big bodies than normal, we haven’t seen quite as many of the versatile talents or tackling machines that are guaranteed to get eyes from NFL scouts.
