Describe the bug

I'm not running any packages, I was simply viewing the information in the roster_weekly_2025.csv file and I believe the smart_id in column AF is incorrect for Atlanta Falcons Long Snapper Liam McCullough. The file has 3200474f-5204-5716-a75e-4ec8e313a651 but I have a couple of other sources going back 2 years that show it as 32004d43-4376-9873-8228-cd33f90cba27 including this grep from the 11/30 Falcons-Jets game json.

Drive: 23 , PlayID: 4330 , statID: 82 , yards: 0 , Name: L.McCullough , Team: ATL , Numbers: 13-B.Pinion%49-L.McCullough%18-I.Williams%49-L.McCullough%40-J.Bertrand , gsis: 32004d43-4376-9873-8228-cd33f90cba27

Reprex
All you need to do is simply open the roster_weekly_2025.csv and look at the records for Liam McCullough
Expected Behavior

The smart_id should be 32004d43-4376-9873-8228-cd33f90cba27
