The Chicago Bears selected Patrick Mannelly in the sixth round (189th overall) of the 1998 draft. Mannelly played four years as a long snapper and two years on offensive line while at Duke. The Bears drafted him (that's right, you guessed it) *Specifically* as a Long Snapper (Special Teams). A 16 year veteran that consisted of 245 games (only missed 11), Mannelly's 2,282 career snaps were solely as a Long Snapper (Special Teams). Mannelly never played a single snap in his 16 year career on either offense or defense.

I must have missed the meeting that all the REAL football folk (whatever that is seriously supposed to mean) attended, that discussed the definitions of what is or isn't *Special Teams*. I guess I need to brush up on my football knowledge now that I know Kickers and Punters are not a part of *Special Teams* going by your REAL football smarts "no one gets drafted as "Special Teams" position".

You think I am being obtuse. That was not my intention. That does not stop the fact that what you wrote was incorrect. You made a statement that I found to be inaccurate and only wanted to point it out.
