New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is happy to accommodate rookie center John Michael Schmitz's dead snap technique as long as the ball gets back to him.
Schmitz, 24, was selected at No57 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft and is a practitioner of the dead snap, which is where the center puts one point of the football in the palm of his hand and snaps it to the quarterback end-over-end instead of in a spiral.
The dead snap is more common in college than in the NFL and the Giants' new boy Schmitz used it as an All-American center at Minnesota. However, his new thrower, Jones, has never taken a dead snap at any point in his football career.
