Canadian long-snapper Ladouceur quietly gets the job done with Dallas Cowboys
Louis-Philippe Ladouceur is the Dallas Cowboys’ best-kept secret.
For 12 years, the Montreal long-snapper has avoided the spotlight playing in one of pro football’s most high-profile markets. And he’s done so with amazing precision and durability, having never missed a game or snap since joining the Cowboys in 2005.
Then again, long-snappers often crave anonymity because when they make headlines, it’s usually because of a botched snap.
“It (lack of recognition) is part of the job,” Ladouceur told The Canadian Press in a telephone interview. “I understood that a long time ago and I’m totally fine with it.”
