After a stellar career at Notre Dame, Jack Snow was originally selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the first round of the 1965 NFL Draft before he was eventually traded to the Rams not long after. Right away, Snow made quite the impact for the receiving corps of the Rams after starting all 14 games that year while catching 38 passes for 559 yards to go along with three touchdowns.
From there, Snow would end up spending his entire NFL career with the Rams. Though he didn’t record a single start during his final season in 1975, the wideout did manage to start 139 of 140 games up to that point, which is quite impressive.
Snow may have only managed one Pro Bowl appearance during his 11 seasons with the team, but at the end of the day, there’s a reason why he’s considered one of the top receivers to ever suit up for the franchise.
In fact, that Pro Bowl season in 1967 was pretty impressive for Snow after leading the league by averaging 26.3 yards per catch while finishing with a career high eight touchdowns. During his career, Snow would end up catching 340 passes for 6,012 yards to go along with 45 touchdowns and just four fumbles to his name.
For a team that had previously struggled to be a playoff contender for the most part prior to Snow’s arrival, seeing the Rams earn five trips to the postseason from 1967-75 shows how valuable he was on offense. This is one of many reasons why he’s on a list like this one.
