Long Snapper – A Valuable Commodity
Long snapper Adomitis has appeared in 58 career games with Cincinnati (2022-24) and Philadelphia (2025). He also appeared in three postseason games with the Bengals. He entered the NFL as an undrafted college free agent with Cincinnati in 2022 following a five-year collegiate career at Pittsburgh (2017-21), where he appeared in 64 games and recorded 13 special teams tackles (seven solo). He finished his Pitt career as one of the most accomplished long snappers in program history, earning 2021 All-America honors and the Patrick Mannelly Award, presented to the top collegiate senior long snapper in the FBS. With points being hard to come by, the precision of the field goal and PAT units needs to be flawless and uninterrupted.
Defensive Backfield Shuffle
Louis made his NFL debut in Miami’s season opener at Las Vegas after being selected by Miami in the fourth round (138th overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft. He played collegiately at Pittsburgh (2022-25), where he appeared in 37 career games with 26 starts and recorded 201 tackles (93 solo), 10.0 sacks, 25.5 tackles for loss, six interceptions with one returned for a touchdown, 12 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He was a first-team All-American and a first-team All-ACC selection in 2024, while earning second-team all-conference honors in 2025.
