Place Kicker:

Players In Camp- Matt Prater, Ryan Santoso

Santoso is merely a camp leg so that Prater and Martin will not put too much undue stress on their legs.

Makes The Roster- Matt Prater

Punter:

Players In Camp- Sam Martin, Ryan Santoso

See above.

Makes The Roster- Sam Martin

Long Snapper:

Players In Camp- Don Muhlbach, Luke Idoni

A few years ago Quinn actually drafted a long snapper in the sixth round because, I guess, he thought that Muhlbach was on his way out. Muhlbach proved him wrong and has firmly held onto the long snapping job for the Lions and done a very good job in the process.

Perhaps Idoni is here to compete for the job, or maybe he is just here to give Muhlbach a push. Too hard to tell at the moment, but regardless, my guess is that Muhlbach holds onto the job for at least one more year.

Makes The Roster- Don Muhlbach
