The Denver Broncos signed long-snapper Aaron Brewer as a college free agent in 2012. He replaced the great, but overpaid Lonnie Paxton.
Brewer competed hard in training camp that year and won the job. From 2012 through Super Bowl 50, Brewer was absolutely perfect as the Broncos long-snapper.
No bad snaps. Always well-placed to the holder. And he contributed tackles on special teams, netting eight in his four years in Denver.
Last year, the Broncos extended Brewer on a four-year deal that would pay him an average of about $1 million per season.
