[edit] Professional career
[edit] Cincinnati Bengals
St. Louis was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the seventh round (210th overall) in the 2000 NFL Draft. He garnered some infamy on December 24, 2006 when a poor snap of his caused a missed extra point within the last minute of the fourth quarter against the Denver Broncos, which cost the Bengals the game. This helped lead to their eventual failure to get into the 2006 playoffs. A year before, in the 2005 AFC wild card game against the Steelers, he also had a high snap on a field goal attempt. On the ensuing possession Jerome Bettis ran for a touchdown to give the Steelers a 21-17 lead. The Steelers went on to win that game.
In the 2009 season, St. Louis has delivered 5 bad snaps resulting in blocked or missed kicks in the 5 games he played, generating a city-wide backlash. The bad snaps came against Denver (week 1), Pittsburgh (week 3), Cleveland (week 4- a field goal and PAT were blocked), and Baltimore (week 5). In addition, a second bad snap against Baltimore was negated due to a penalty. He was waived on October 13, 2009.
