Longest Tenured NFL Players By Team (2019)
Let’s hear it for the long snappers, amirite? Of the 32 NFL teams, seven of them have a long snapper as their longest-tenured player, including Detroit’s Don Muhlbach, who’s been with the Lions for 16 seasons. Not surprisingly, the quarterback position is the most prevalent on our list with eight guys leading their franchises in tenure. One of them, Tom Brady, not only has six rings but he’s also the champ in tenure; his 20-season career with New England is the most in the NFL.
Other things to note: Bilal Powell, now in his ninth year with the New York Jets, is the only running back leading his team in tenure and Larry Fitzgerald is the only wide receiver.
