Pretty easy threshhold to clear.
It's the kind of think that talking heads love to blather on about but just about anyone can be taught to snap a ball effectively in a week or so. Now with the rise of the shotgun formation, it's a little more complicated because they need to have the flexibility to be able to snap the ball with adequate velocity and then get immediately into their block.
But I think the difficulty is really overstated. If Trey Smith needed to learn to snap a football, he could get that done in a couple weeks fairly easily, IMO. But could Creed take Smith's role and be able to anchor a ground game with the sort of pulls and traps that Smith can execute with grace and power? I don't think he can. He's not as powerful as Smith is.
I think some discrepancy is warranted.
