Ring of Honor?

A Jansen statue of him bent over hiking the ball at BOA is well deserved and would be a great photo op for fans

I just might get a JJ jersey. Wow who would have guessed.

I've said many times that if I had known in high school that long snapper was an NFL position I would have practiced that every day and did all could to get that contract. Sure the money is not starting QB level, but it is life changing and if you manage it right you and your kids will be set for life. Not to mention you have access to the highest level of medical staff. Plus, by rule, they can't hit you.

Or a statue of him in a golf cart and you can sit next to him

Fun Fact: This year he will break Trey Junkin`s record of largest amount of games played by a long snapper. Trey played 281, JJ is at 277.

remember when we wasted a draft pick on a long snapper to replace him? and kept JJ anyways. lol

I will never forget that because we passed on Trey Smith for him.

That's the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw this.

I can't remember him ever muffing a snap.   Has it happened?

JJ has career earnings of almost $17M and only gets on the field for a handful of snaps. I WAS a long snapper in HS... should have practiced harder!

Yep, came a few years after we wasted a pick on a K, who’s been a stud in KC, to “not” replace a very expensive K, that we got rid of anyway, only to finally get another K as an UDFA 8 years later. We don’t learn that fast. Heck, Zavala is the only OL we’ve drafted in 3 years and that’s why the OL isn’t as solid anymore and one bad injury and we’re right back at the beginning.
