NFL Special Teams are the unit that is tasked with plays that involve kicking and is not regarded as either offense or defense. Although not as famous as the QBs, special teams are a very integral part of the team.
The Kicker is the most important in the unit with a big responsibility to score in crucial moments, and a punter is crucial for changing the game's momentum. The Long Snapper is a specialist position with the duty of scoring FG and punts.
Kick Returners are tasked to return kickoffs and Punt Returners are tasked to return punts with both positions mostly assigned to the WR and RB.
Special Teams depth chart is very important as it may decide the team's outcome for the season.
