Derek Rackley is an eight year NFL veteran long snapper spending the first six years of his career with the Atlanta Falcons and the past two with the Seattle Seahawks. While he has not technically hung up the cleats, Rackley has been steadily doing television and radio work since leaving the Seattle Seahawks in 2007.
Rackley appeared on many TV and radio programs in the Atlanta area during his time with the Falcons. Some of those included Falcons Face-to-Face, Gridiron Gourmet on CSS and many different radio interviews with 790 the Zone, V103 and other local radio outlets.
In Seattle, he hosted a weekly segment on FSN Northwest's Seahawks All Access show called "Snappin' With Rack." When he returned to Atlanta, Rackley appeared on a series of Falcon's Gameday Live shows with Atlanta's NBC station 11 Alive.
Rackley joined CSS in February 2008 and was added to the host rotation on SportsNite. He is enjoying the experience and personalities that come along as a host of SportsNite.
