The article provides an in-depth look at Tucker Addington, a second-year long snapper for the New England Patriots. Addington, who went undrafted in the 2020 NFL Draft and spent two years out of football working as an assistant coach, eventually got his chance in the USFL in 2022. His performance there led to brief stints with the Dallas Cowboys and later the Patriots, where he played three games at the end of the 2022 season after regular long snapper Joe Cardona was injured.
Despite some struggles within the Patriots’ kicking operation, Addington showed promise in his limited appearances. However, with Cardona re-signed as the highest-paid long snapper in the league, Addington is currently the second option on the depth chart. His chances of making the 53-man roster or practice squad are slim unless an injury occurs, but he remains on the short list as an emergency backup.
