When the New York Giants brought in Boston College long snapper Ben Mann as an undrafted free agent, they did so with high hopes for what the young rookie long snapper could bring to the field this season and beyond.They are so confident in what they believe he will be able to accomplish that Zach Triner, the long snapper they signed in the spring, was waived in June, clearing the way for the Giants to go into training camp with only Mann to handle all of the long-snapping duties.One of the reasons why the Giants have so much belief in Mann is his consistency. Throughout his four seasons in college, three of which were with the Yale Bulldogs and one with Boston College, he has not had a single snapping infraction.The short snaps always get to the holder on time so that the kicker can go through his normal operation. And on the punt team, he delivers a fast, accurate snap so that the punter has time to catch and work through his steps to deliver his best punts.The ease and comfort of knowing the ball will be snapped correctly every single time is what makes coaches extremely comfortable and loyal to a long snapper. You only ever hear about them when they make mistakes, and you've never heard anything about Ben Mann.Make no mistake, Mann has physical gifts. He snaps an extremely accurate, fast ball that reaches the holder or punter quickly, allowing them to complete their operation without giving the opposition a chance to disrupt it.He is also rather athletic for a long snapper. Yes, he is smaller than many other long snappers, who tend to be more tight end and defensive end-sized, but the fact that he is built more like a receiver allows him to put his speed to use, running downfield and covering on the punt team.BEN MANN, LS
