I could easily I could have easily been part of that tradition as well just we hadn't. Winning the Super Bowl out probably the best accomplishment or the most fulfilling accomplishment was when I call it the gatekeeper kept coming in and saying hey Jim we're at 20 minutes he was like me finally he said you know what clear the rest of the schedule I'm going to call my wife tell her we're going to order out she happened to play college soccer at Florida so there's a lot of people that are somewhat in silos but need to work together symbiotically in the same direction to thrive, says Collins.
LA Rams General Manager Les Snead dives deep into some of the strategies that made the Rams a Super Bowl Champion, including assessing character, how to draft the right player, the complicated nature of trading players, how to build a team, hiring the right coach, hidden performance, why it’s so important to be relentlessly curious, and so much more. A native of football-crazed Eufaula, Alabama, Snead served as a graduate assistant at Auburn University before he spent 14 years as an NFL scout for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons. He became the Rams’ GM in 2012 and over time built a reputation as an executive willing to make insightful draft picks as well as blockbuster trades, including his move to draft future Hall of Famer Aaron Donald in 2014 and to trade for superstars Von Miller and Matthew Stafford on the way to winning the Super Bowl in February.
