Jack Snow was taken eighth overall in the 1965 draft, but he never played a snap for the team that picked him. The rights quickly moved to the Los Angeles Rams, where he spent his entire 11-year career. A Notre Dame product with good size and soft hands, he stepped into the starting lineup as a rookie and stayed there for most of the next decade. Snow was not the flashiest receiver of his era, yet he had a knack for the deep ball and the toughness to work across the middle. Roman Gabriel trusted him on those routes, and Snow rarely dropped the ones he got his hands on.

The clear peak arrived in 1967. He caught only 28 passes, but they went for 735 yards and eight touchdowns, a 26.3-yard average that led the NFL. That production earned him a Pro Bowl selection. In one game against Baltimore, he scored on 53- and 80-yard catches. He was the kind of receiver who could take a short throw and turn it into a long gain, or stretch the field when Gabriel looked his way. The numbers weren’t huge by modern standards, but in a run-heavy offense, they stood out.

He kept producing after that. In 1970 he finished fifth in the league in receptions and ninth in receiving yards with 51 catches for 859 yards and seven touchdowns. He remained a starter through 1974 and helped the Rams reach the playoffs several times. The later seasons brought fewer targets and fewer big plays. By 1975, he was mostly a reserve, and the production dropped sharply. The deep threat was still there on occasion, but the volume was gone.

Snow retired after the 1975 season with 340 catches for 6,012 yards and 45 touchdowns, all of them with the Rams. The 1967 season was the one that earned him a Pro Bowl selection. The years around it were solid and steady, not spectacular. He was a reliable target for Gabriel on teams that mixed a strong running game with enough passing to keep defenses honest. The early career was promising, the middle stretch brought the best numbers, and the end was quieter.

After football, he stayed connected to the game as a Rams broadcaster. The receiver, who once led the league in yards per catch, finished his career with the same team that acquired him before he ever played a down. The totals were respectable for the era, and the Pro Bowl year remains the clearest highlight.
