Arguably the most essential player on a field goal or punt formation play is the long snapper. Without a clean snap, the success for points or better field position drops substantially.
Just as Jon Weeks helps the Houston Texans’ special teams add points or better field position, so did the long snapper play a critical part for Houston area first responders on March 31.
According to a video posted on Twitter, the 2015 Pro Bowl long snapper bought lunches for Houston Emergency Center employees and also several Houston fire stations on Tuesday.
Weeks expressed his appreciation for the first responders.
“Thank you for everything you guys are doing,” Week said. “Thank you for being on the front lines and making the ultimate sacrifice. We appreciate everything you guys are doing. We hope you guys can enjoy lunch on the Weeks family.”
The former undrafted free agent from Baylor in 2008 signed a one-year contract worth a little over $1 million in the 2020 offseason. A portion of that contract has now gone to helping heroes on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19.
