Under the special teams category, he shares gold on Adam Vinatieri, and some of his favorite holders like Lee Johnson, Ken Walter, and Josh Miller.

He tells the story of the game tying field goal in the “Patriots Snow Bowl” which was the 2001 AFC Championship. This is the game notoriously known as the “Tuck Rule Game” were Tom Brady’s fumble was ruled as an incomplete pass. Hearing Lonie’s perspective made this one special.

Transitioning to the Broncos, he was a solid teammate to Matt Prater, who is still having a solid career with the Detroit Lions. Lonie was not only a talented long snapper, but a supportive rock for his kickers and punters.
