No. 9: Long-Snapper Brian Jennings

I’m going to continue giving long-snappers some love here, and what better long-snapper to give love to than Brian Jennings?

Jennings is a Niner for life, spending his entire 13-year career with San Francisco. He was such a good long-snapper that he made two Pro Bowls!

Not only did he make two Pro Bowls as a long-snapper, but he was also a member of the 2013 Super Bowl-appearing 49ers.

It ended up being his last game of his football career, but playing in a Super Bowl is not a bad way to end your career.

Especially for the final player selected by the legendary Bill Walsh. True story.
