If everything were as easy as a snap.
Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott was inducted into the William & Mary Hall of Fame over the weekend.
He stopped by to meet the football team and decided to get in on the action, asking long-snapper Nick Levy to show him his prowess on punts and kicks.
The snap was perfect as was McDermott’s delivery, letting Levy know he had earned a scholarship.
Well played.

McDermott spoke to Buffalobills.com about the honor:
“That’s huge. Especially coming from a walk-on that went in there and I wore number 83 as a defensive back and that wasn’t really a popular number back in the day. But you know, it’s a great honor, especially at a school like William & Mary, where it’s not just athletics, it’s the combination of a student athlete, both academically and athletically,” McDermott said.
After delivering the snap, McDermott approached Levy and said, βThatβs pretty good, man. Youβre a freshman All-American? Thatβs awesome.β
McDermott then looked at William & Mary head coach Mike London Sr. and says, βI think that looks like thatβs worth a scholarship, coach.β
Levyβs teammates immediately swarmed the long snapper in a big celebration.
