I realize the trick shot genre is over saturated, but it's like come on, this long snapping. Long. Snapping. Nobody ever pays attention to long snappers. They are to football what Hi and Lois are to comic pages. In fact, until I watched this video, I never thought about long snappers enough to realize that they're the only guys in football that invoke more apathy than punters.
As a way to make amends for society's disregard for the highly difficult skill of launching a long, accurate and tight spiral through one's legs, I pass along this 4 minute and 20 second video of hardcore long snapping made by former-Nittany Lion Larry Federoff.
Extra kudos to Larry for the special effects at the 3:14 mark and for having the self-promotional savvy to post this just prior to the NFL draft. I hope it helps him get drafted, for his own sake and for mine, because I really want to hear Mel Kiper give this analysis:
