Some football players like to draw attention to themselves by celebrating after big plays, and how can we blame them? So much of football is just painfully grinding away in the trenches until — BOOM! — a big play shifts the momentum of a game. Offensive players can usually point to their individual contributions toward a long touchdown just as defensive players can celebrate how their effort led to a huge sack or a pick-six.

But there is one position in football that never gets to celebrate and only gets noticed when they screw up. At best, players at this position can only do their job.
