"We are very excited to have Paul join us as our lead snapping coach! He has the knowledge, experience and the drive to help snappers around the state become their best and ultimately become a staple on Special Teams for their team! I can see his passion for the art of snapping and for coaching just in the short time I have spent with him. He will be a great option for instruction for long snappers all over the area!"
