MIAMI (AP) — Long snapper John Denney has re-signed for a 15th season with the Miami Dolphins.

The 40-year-old Denney's streak of 224 consecutive games is the longest in team history and the longest active streak in the NFL. He's the longest-tenured active Dolphins player and has played in every game since the start of his rookie season in 2005.

Denney, who is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, played one season at Ricks College before transferring to BYU in 2001. He started 29 of 32 games at defensive end for the Cougars, while also handling long-snapping duties.
