No. 10: Long-Snapper Kyle Nelson

Long-snapper Kyle Nelson, in my opinion, is currently one of the more respected people in the 49ers locker room.

Coaches rave about him whenever they can. He acts like a seasoned professional in pregame warmups whenever I go to Levi’s Stadium and, most importantly, I cannot remember a time when he has botched a snap.

Consistency is what anybody looks for in a long-snapper, and Nelson has been nothing but consistent.

And I am more than glad that he is on the roster right now.
