College career
Bradley began his MSU career in 2012 as a tight end but multiple knee surgeries forced him into a long snapping role, which he took over as a starter in 2015. The 6-foot-3, 240-pounder from Collierville, Tennessee was perfect through 41 career games and also collected four tackles.
Professional career
Bradley was selected by the Green Bay Packers with the 239th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft.[2] This made Bradley only the ninth long snapper ever drafted in the NFL Draft. The Packers originally acquired the pick used to select Bradley by trading Lerentee McCray to the Buffalo Bills. On May 4, 2018, he signed a contract with the Packers.[3]
Bradley was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list by the Packers on August 3, 2020.[4]
