The Kansas City Chiefs welcomed back their long snapper, signing Thomas Gafford, the team announced today.

The Friendswood, Texas native originally entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Packers, including its-then Director of College Scouting John Dorsey in 2006.

Gafford was a four-year letterman at the University of Houston, where he played in 47 games as the Cougars long snapper.

He played wide receiver, quarterback, tight end and safety as a prep at Clear Brook High School in Friendswood, Texas.
