After 13 years in the NFL, seven with the Eagles Philadelphia Eagles Tight End and Long Snapper Mike Bartrum is retiring. Although he was better known as a very consistent long snapper he also was a third string tight end. While he only caught 11 passes in his career, six of them were for touchdowns.
Bartrum, suffered a serious neck injury during the Indianapolis Colts and was out the remainder of the season.
He even was once called on to do kicking duties when kicker David Akers was injured during a game.
While he was not a big name player, or scorer he was a very consistent long snapper, and even made the Pro Bowl.
He will be missed by a lot of the fans in this city, and we thank him for all his hard work he did while he was here.
