Long snapper is not the most glamourous position on the field. A long snapper is rarely a household-name player. Kids are not fighting to play the long snapper in the street or backyard. It is a position that does not make much of an impact on the fans watching the game unless a bad snap costs a team points.
When it comes to Miami Dolphins long snapper Blake Ferguson, his on-the-field impact may not always get noticed, but his off-the-field impact is something that should turn him into a household name. This year’s Salute to Service award nominee for the Dolphins, Ferguson has turned family ties to the military into a desire to serve service members and their families.
