It's a "Long Snapper". It's the special-team's equivalent of the center position for a team's punt and field goal units. A long-snapper has to snap the ball either seven (for PAT's and FG's) or fifteen yards (for punts) behind him with the accuracy that allows the holder or punter to handle the ball cleanly. 100 percent sure. LS is Long Snapper. Lonnie Paxton is the current Patriots LS. The job is simple if you call being murdered for fun simple. Bend over, stick your head between your legs, and throw a perfect spiral seven yards (for a PAT of Field Goal) or fifteen yards (for a punt) while large men beat on your skull for fun. It's the most exclusive club in the NFL - each team only keeps one (with a lineman who can serve as backup in case of injury). Few players can change the game so rapidly by screwing up. Oh, and it's best if you can make sure the laces land exactly in the punter or holder's right hand beneath his fingers,
