For the last four seasons, Mitch Fraboni has been the Bronco long snapper (he was the LS for part of 2022). Long snappers are critical, but forgotten parts of every football team. Like offensive linemen, they only get noticed if they screw up.
Mitch is not only a competent long snapper, but he is also a decent tackler, getting anywhere from four to six tackles on punt coverage every season. Mitch had four tackles (3.5) last season on 75 punts – only 29 of which were returned. The leader on punt tackles for
the Denver Broncos last season was JL Skinner with 5.5.

Admittedly only the gunners and the long snapper can be downfield before the punt is away, but Mitch is still an asset as a tackler on punt coverage.
