Percy Lee Snow (born November 5, 1967 in Canton, Ohio) is a retired American football linebacker who played at Michigan State University and was a first-round draft pick of the Kansas City Chiefs.

[edit] Short career

Snow had a successful rookie season in 1990 and was expected to be a major contributor to Marty Schottenheimer's defense with the Chiefs. However, he was involved in an accident while riding a moped during training camp in 1991. Snow sustained season-ending injuries to his knee in the wreck and he never fully recovered from the accident. His career ended after only three active seasons (he spent 1991 on the disabled list) with just one start in his final two.

Snow won the Butkus Award in 1989. He is the older brother of NBA player Eric Snow. Percy Snow was also featured in The Hidden NFL and was selected by the Chiefs in the first round. He was at home when he heard the annoncement unlike todays players who are present at the draft.
