OF ALL the thankless football tasks, long snapping might be the one most taken for granted; you only hear a long snapper's name when a punter is corralling a misfired football. But the Texans' Bryan Pittman (right) might bring glamour to the position: He's a master of his craft—he has never made a bad snap in five NFL seasons—and a good sport. Recently a sports anchor from Houston's Fox affiliate took Pittman, 30, out to demonstrate his skills, having him snap groceries into a cart, swish a football from half-court and snap one through the window of a moving car from 50 feet away. In the video, which can be seen at SI.com/clickthis, Pittman is as accurate with a pineapple as with a pigskin—and he doesn't mind when construction workers on a lunch break say they've never heard of him.
