Denver Broncos fans probably haven’t heard Mitchell Fraboni’s name mentioned often this season. This is usually a good sign for a long snapper, as it indicates that he hasn’t made any mistakes in the spotlight.
Fraboni, 28, spent time in the Spring League before getting an opportunity with the Houston Texans and then playing in the USFL. After standing out in spring football, Fraboni joins the team Broncos in 2022. He took over as full-time long snapper in 2023 and hasn’t looked back.
“When you look at a snapper like that, you look at where the ball is, how tight the spiral is and then the location of the yaw,” special teams coordinator Ben Kotwica said in September. “It also has to do with the starter, so I would say they’re in a good position. They’re in a really good place. We’re further ahead than we were at this time last year, and it’s good to see that Any time you can see players working on things and eventually converting, especially on Sundays, it’s really cool to see.
Broncos punter Riley Dixon is the team’s starter and he and Fraboni have had a good rapport through the first 13 games of the season. They will look to keep the positive momentum going after the bye when the Broncos host the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15.
