2026 NFL Special Teams Tackles Leaders
Tackles credited on punt and kickoff plays. Long snappers cover punts, so a good one adds value after the snap.
The count is for the season, not split by regular season and playoffs. In 2026, Nick Moore (2) led NFL long snappers in special teams tackles, ahead of Andrew DePaola (2) and Joe Cardona (2). 16 long snappers qualify. This season is in progress (through Week 7), so the numbers change each week.
Data through Week 7 of the 2026 season, updated October 24, 2026.
