Football players are built differently.
Packers center barfed all over the field, and then rallied
Josh Myers left it all on the field for this snap. Literally
Mark Schofield is a former college quarterback and attorney covering the NFL and F1.
We are reminded of this simple fact on every NFL Sunday, and frankly on every college football Saturday. You can even find evidence of this axiom on Friday nights at your local high school.
The latest example of this truism? That comes courtesy of Green Bay Packers center Josh Myers. Keep a close eye on Myers before the snap on this play from Green Bay’s win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday:
Did you catch that? Just before the snap Myers casually turns his head to the left and vomits — trying not to get anything on the football before the snap to backup quarterback Malik Willis — and then snaps the football. Myers then stands tall in pass protection, helping pick up an interior stunt.
Although apparently Myers was not perfect with his aim, as Packers head coach Matt LaFleur outlined after the game:
With starting quarterback Jordan Love sidelined, Myers helped power a Packers rushing attack that racked up a whopping 261 rushing yards, with 237 of those coming in the first half alone.
So you might excuse him for feeling a little under the weather before this snap, as he was putting in work on Sunday. But it should also be noted that according to Pro Football Reference, Myers was in for every offensive snap for Green Bay on Sunday.
