Former Rams receiver Jack Snow died Monday after struggling with complications from a staph infection for the better part of the past month. He was 62.

Snow is survived by three children, daughters Michelle and Stephanie and son J.T.

Mr. Snow played 11 years for the Rams after being selected in the first round of the 1965 NFL Draft by Minnesota. He was traded to the Rams soon after and finished his career with the team.

In his 11 seasons, he posted 340 receptions for 6,012 yards and 45 touchdowns. He played his college ball at Notre Dame, where he was a member of the College All Star team in 1965 and a consensus All American in 1964. He finished fifth in Heisman Trophy voting that year.

Snow’s best professional season came in 1970, when he posted 51 catches for 859 yards with seven touchdowns.

Off the field, Mr. Snow worked in a variety of capacities. He spent the 1982 season coaching Rams receivers, but also made appearances in the film Heaven Can Wait with a guest starring role on the television show “Bewitched.”

Mr. Snow worked as part of the Rams radio broadcasts for the entire time the team was in St. Louis as well as three seasons before that with the team in Los Angeles.

His off the field contributions extended well beyond radio and television. Mr. Snow is an integral part of many of the team’s charitable efforts. He was active in the Angel Tree Holiday party, Football University, the Epilepsy Foundation and Bowl-a-RAMa, among others.

He was born on Jan. 25, 1943 in Rock Springs, Wyo. Funeral arrangements are unknown at this time.

The Snow family would like to thank the many friends and fans for the outpouring of support during Mr. Snow’s struggles in the hospital for the past few weeks.
