I can’t speak with absolutely certainty, but this is probably going to be the only time in my life in which I pen a farewell article in tribute to a long snapper. In the case of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Greg Warren, who has been the team’s long snapper since 2005, I think the honorary is deserving.
When the Steelers actually picked up Warren, they were stable at the long snapper position in the form of Mike Schneck, who served in that role from 1999 until he was displaced in 2005. I think it’s important to emphasize that this is not insignificant.
