About Ethan Albright

Lawrence Ethan Albright is an American former professional football long snapper who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 16 seasons. Nicknamed "the Red Snapper", he spent the majority of his career with the Washington Redskins. Albright played tight end early in his career for the North Carolina Tar Heels but later switched to offensive tackle and was named First-team All-ACC at that position in 1993. Following his retirement from the league, Albright set the record for the most consecutive starts by a long snapper at 230 and the most consecutive regular season starts at 224, the latter of which has been tied by John Denney. In 2006, Albright became an internet meme for being the lowest-rated NFL player in the video game Madden NFL 07 at 53 out of 99.
