Former Ram receiver Jack Snow died of a staph infection Monday January 9. Here is a tribute from former teammate, Deacon Jones:
"The guy ran the best patterns of any receiver during our period. He was one of the few guys we had that would go across the middle and catch that football. He was tough, tough as nails. Jack had the greatest hands in that time period. You won't talk about his speed, but his speed was deceiving. He would catch that slant pattern over the middle and I've seen him outrun some guys that we THOUGHT were fast."
