Summary note
Author Ted Kluck was a long snapper in the semi-pros and a professional indoor league, so he knows the often thankless job of snapping. To explore the art of long snapping for this book, Kluck enlists NFL snapping super-agent Kevin Gold and former longtime NFL snapper Justin Snow to help him on his journey to perfect his own craft. Along the way he encounters a Cinderella Story (Brian Kinchen), the search for a goat (Trey Junkin), learns from an elite NFL special teams coach (Gary Zauner) and tracks some young prospects as they seek a high-pressure job in the NFL's smallest and most anonymous fraternity. Upside Down Football features in-depth interviews with players, coaches, agents, and scouts, introducing the reader to some of the men who have snapped successfully?and unsuccessfully?at the game's highest level and providing insight into what major college and NFL games are like for these elite athletes. --Publisher.
