By title, Les Snead is the general manager of the Los Angeles Rams. He’s held that role since 2012 after working in the Falcons’ front office, and he’s been a huge part of the Rams’ resurgence in the last five years.
But he’s not the only one making roster decisions. He works closely with Sean McVay to build the Rams’ roster, and the two of them have had very few missteps in their time together so far.
So when NBC Sports’ Patrick Daugherty ranked every general manager in the NFL, he lumped Snead and McVay together – and he put them at the top of the list. He ranked the Snead-McVay pairing as the best general manager in the league, ahead of Bill Belichick, Brandon Beane, Andy Reid/Brett Veach and John Lynch/Kyle Shanahan. So Snead and McVay weren’t the only GM-coach tandem on the list.
