Christian Kuntz is an American professional football long snapper for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL. His net worth is estimated in the low millions of dollars, built through several years of NFL contracts.

Early Life & Family

Kuntz was born on April 13, 1994, in Scott Township, Pennsylvania. He played linebacker at Duquesne University from 2012 to 2016, setting a school record with 30.5 career sacks and earning back-to-back Northeast Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors, as well as second-team Associated Press All-American recognition in 2015 and 2016.

Rise to Fame

Undrafted in 2017, Kuntz converted from linebacker to long snapper as he pursued an NFL roster spot. He spent time on the practice squads of the New England Patriots, Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars, had a brief first stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019, and played in the XFL for the Dallas Renegades in 2020 before returning to the Steelers later that year.

Career History

Kuntz has been the Steelers’ starting long snapper since 2020 and has not missed a game in that role, playing all 17 regular-season games plus their playoff game in 2025. He signed a three-year contract extension with Pittsburgh in March 2024, worth roughly $3.765 million including a $325,000 signing bonus. He enters the 2026 season, his first under new head coach Mike McCarthy, in the final year of that deal.

How They Built Their Wealth

Kuntz’s income comes from his NFL contracts as the Steelers’ long snapper, including his current multi-year extension, along with the standard salary and bonus structures of an NFL special-teams specialist.
