LA Rams: 15 greatest wide receivers of All Time

The production of LA Rams WR Jack Snow was at a different time in NFL history. He played for former LA Rams head coach Chuck Knox, a.k.a. “Ground Chuck.” At the time, the Rams’ offense was about stout defense and a running attack. But Snow was so good that even Coach Knox was okay with throwing the ball to him, every once in a while.

Because Snow played on Ground Chuck’s offense, he became somewhat of a pariah to other NFL teams, because they were more accustomed to half-hearted blocking efforts that came with a majority of NFL wide receivers. Not so with Jack Snow, whose ability to block and catch would eventually frustrate defenders to the point of emotional flareups.

While he was pancaking linebackers and defensive backs on running plays, he was one of the reasons that LA Rams quarterback Roman Gabriel earned such a remarkable reputation. Snow had incredible body control, solid speed, and a great pair of hands. While he never put up 1,000+ yards receiving in any one season, he was always capable of making a deep play. In his first eight of eleven seasons with the Rams, his longest catch in any NFL season was never less than 54 yards.

In 1967, his 28 catches in 14 games were good enough to average 26.3 yards per reception that year. He also hauled in eight TD passes as well. Standing 6-foot-2 and weighing 190-pounds, Snow was the type of receiver who would do very well even in the modern NFL era.
