LES SNEAD
Les Snead is the General Manager of the 2021 NFL Champion Los Angeles Rams. Snead’s tenure has been marked by aggressive moves to improve the organization in any way possible, a philosophy he set in motion just days after his hiring and has continued through the 2021 championship season.
Snead was born and grew up in Eufaula, Alabama and was an all-state offensive guard at Eufaula High School. He switched to tight end at Troy State before attending the University of Alabama at Birmingham and earning a varsity letter for playing on the first NCAA-sanctioned Division III UAB Blazers football team.

On February 10, 2012, the Rams announced that they had hired Snead to become the team’s new general manager. On March 12, 2012, Snead made his first big deal as general manager, as the Rams agreed to a trade with the Washington Redskins that would exchange their No. 2 overall selection in the 2012 NFL Draft for the Redskins’ sixth and 39th overall selections. The Rams also received Washington’s first round selections for the 2013 and 2014 drafts.
