Timeline
Snead used the Rams' second round pick (39th overall) to select cornerback Janoris Jenkins.
Samuel Lester Snead (born January 19, 1971) is an American football executive who is the general manager of the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League (NFL), a position he has held since 2012.
In 1995, Snead was hired by the expansion Jacksonville Jaguars as a pro scout, where he worked until 1997, when he was hired by the Atlanta Falcons to the same position.
Rebuilding the roster was instrumental in the Rams' 11-5 season, which included their first NFC West title since 2003 and a trip to the playoffs.
In 2009, he was promoted to director of pro/player personnel, where he remained for the following two seasons.
Prior to joining the Rams in 2012, Snead served in the Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons front offices from 1995 to 2011.
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.
He then transferred to Auburn.
After Snead served as a graduate assistant at Auburn, he became a scout.
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.
In the draft the Rams traded the sixth pick for the Dallas Cowboys' 14th pick, and selected defensive tackle Michael Brockers.
In the 2014 NFL Draft, Snead had two first round picks, in which he selected Auburn offensive tackle Greg Robinson with the No. 2 overall pick and then Pittsburgh defensive tackle Aaron Donald at No. 13.
While Robinson was traded away after three disappointing seasons, Donald quickly emerged as one of the NFL's most dominant defensive players, earning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2014 and being named NFL Defensive Player of the Year in both 2017 and 2018.
Later in the draft, Snead and the Rams drafted defensive end Michael Sam of Missouri, the first openly gay player to enter the NFL draft, with their first sixth-round draft pick (No. 249 overall).
Ultimately, Sam did not make the team's regular season roster.
Despite lingering concerns over a surgically repaired knee after a torn ACL, Snead gambled and selected Georgia running back Todd Gurley with the 10th overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.
The gamble paid off, as Gurley earned NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors by rushing for 1,106 yards and 10 touchdowns despite missing three full games and most of another.
Offensive tackle Rob Havenstein was also selected in the second round (No. 57 overall) and has been a Rams starter since his rookie season.
Following the approval of the Rams' relocation to Los Angeles, Snead and his family settled in Malibu.
Just prior to the 2016 NFL Draft, the Rams announced a blockbuster trade with the Tennessee Titans, in which Los Angeles acquired the No. 1 overall pick from Tennessee along with fourth and sixth round selections in exchange for the Rams No. 15 overall pick, two second-round picks, and a third-round pick.
Following the end of the 2016 season, it was uncertain if the Rams would retain Snead, who, like Fisher, had signed a two-year extension in early December.
Snead was among the team executives who interviewed Sean McVay for the vacant head coaching position, and was the first to speak following McVay's impressive interview, declaring "I'm buying stock in Sean McVay."
In the sixth round, Snead and the Rams used the 171st overall pick to select future All-Pro kicker Greg Zuerlein.
Snead also signed rookie free agent Johnny Hekker, destined to become a perennial All-Pro punter.
The Titans also received the Rams' first- and third-round picks in 2017.
With the first pick in the draft, Snead and Rams head coach Jeff Fisher selected Cal quarterback Jared Goff, later to become a Pro Bowler for the Rams.
Fourth round pick Tyler Higbee, a tight end from Western Kentucky, was also selected in the draft and has become a regular starter.
However, as the Rams' return to Los Angeles unraveled into a 4-12 mess, the relationship between Snead and Fisher began to deteriorate publicly.
Fisher, who was fired with three games to go in the season, chided Snead for losing defensive backfield starters Janoris Jenkins and Rodney McLeod in free agency.
The success continued in 2018, as the Rams improved to 13-3, with their second straight NFC West title, an NFC Championship and a berth in Super Bowl LIII.
In 2019, Snead made a blockbuster trade, sending a 2020 first-round pick, a 2021 first-round pick, and a 2021 fourth-round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars for star cornerback Jalen Ramsey
Finding a close alignment in their respective football philosophies, Snead and McVay have since had a strong friendship.
In May 2019, they attended the Kentucky Derby together.
In July 2019, the Los Angeles Rams signed Snead to a contract extension that will keep him with the franchise through the 2023 season.
Snead tested positive for COVID-19 during the 2021 NFL Draft and was forced to self-isolate for the remainder of the draft.
