One underrated contributor on the Houston Texans’ roster this season has been long snapper Jon Weeks, who will mark his 200th game at the position this week against the Tennessee Titans. The milestone drew praise from Texans special teams coordinator Frank Ross at the team’s Thursday press conference, where the seasoned coach remarked on Weeks’ uncanny consistency in the role over the course of the last several years.
“Selfishly, I’m fortunate and lucky to coach that,” Ross explained, “because people like Jon Weeks in our business, in the NFL, have the ability to do it day in and day out, season in season out for an extended period of time for years is difficult. Okay, now we’re talking about 200 games. I’m fortunate to learn from him to have him on or roster where I know week in and week out he’s going to do exactly as asked and work hard every week to do so.
