George Robert Burman (born December 1, 1942) is a former American football center and long snapper.
He played professionally for the Chicago Bears, Los Angeles Rams and Washington Redskins of the National Football League (NFL).
[2] George Allen, then the head of scouting for the Chicago Bears, selected Burman, and proceeded to bring him to the Los Angeles Rams in 1966 and the Washington Redskins in 1971.
Burman began his long snapping with the Rams, working on the punts, but was still considered a backup offensive lineman.
When Allen coaxed him out of retirement in the 1971 preseason to join Washington, Burman's roster spot was based on his long snap, not his offensive line play.
