[edit] College career

Born in Rock Springs, Wyoming, Snow was recruited by Notre Dame from St. Anthony College Prep High School in Long Beach, California. In his senior year at Notre Dame, he was named first team All-American and finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1964. The Heisman winner that year was Notre Dame's quarterback, John Huarte.

[edit] NFL career

The Minnesota Vikings selected Snow in the first round (he was the number 8 pick overall) in the 1965 NFL Draft but traded him to the Rams before the 1965 season began. During his career he made the Pro Bowl once, in 1967, but did not appear in the game. During that season he had averaged a career-high 26.3 yards per reception, with eight touchdowns. Despite that being his sole selection, his best season was perhaps 1970, when he and 1969 NFL MVP Roman Gabriel combined for 51 receptions totaling 859 yards and seven touchdowns. He finished his professional career with 340 receptions and 45 touchdowns; his 6012 career receiving yards ranked 30th in NFL history.
