02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Reliable snap distribution is paramount in special teams for any punt or field goal operation, emphasizing consistent ball placement and protection against rushers.

Long SnapperSpecial Teams Ace
Best role

Cardona projects as an immediate starting long snapper capable of handling all special teams duties reliably, with a ceiling as a long-term, high-floor specialist.

Wrong fit

A scheme that heavily relies on the long snapper to also contribute significantly in a primary offensive or defensive role, which is not typical for the position.

Cardona’s build and athleticism are well-suited for the demanding and often overlooked role of a long snapper, excelling in consistency and blocking.
