The Patrick Mannelly Award is awarded to the top senior FBS Long Snapper.

The award was named after Patrick Mannelly, who was one of the best long snappers in NFL history. Mannelly was a two year starter at Duke University before being drafted to the Chicago Bears in the sixth round of the 1998 NFL Draft. Mannelly went on to become the Bears' leader in career games played with 245 in 16 seasons.
