Don Muhlbach

After going undrafted in 2004, Texas A&M Lineman, Don Muhlbach worked out with the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills, before landing with the Detroit Lions midway through the year, where he became their Long Snapper.  Despite botching a snap that cost them a game against Minnesota in his rookie year, Muhlbach held on to the job, and would become one of the most steady Long Snappers in the NFL.

Muhlbach stayed with the Lions, playing 260 Games from 2004 to 2020.  The former Aggie went to two Pro Bowls (2012 & 2018), and while his role was specific, it is a valuable one in football.   

We know that Long Snappers will never make the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but if there is ever a specific Hall for this type of player, Muhlbach is one to consider.
