If you look up the phrase "football player" in the dictionary, you may just find Cole Kmet's photograph after his all-around performance in Week 6 of the 2024 NFL Season. Serving as the team's interim long snapper in this one, Kmet did not let his extra duties take away from his usual responsibilities as the team's top tight end, showcasing power, strength, and determination on this 31-yard touchdown grab, his first of two on the day. After the score, Kmet lined back up under center, snapping the ball to the holder on a successful extra point attempt. Kmet caught five passes for 70 yards and two touchdowns in this one, earning the unusual distinction of becoming the first long snapper in NFL history to score on two plays from scrimmage in the same half, as Chicago went on to win over the Jaguars, 35-16, on Oct. 13, 2024.
