There’s only 32 in the world, and Auburn can claim two.

Los Angeles Rams General Manager Les Snead ’94, a former Auburn football player, was a pro scout for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons before serving as the Falcons’ director of player personnel. In 2012 he was named general manager of the St. Louis Rams, helped move the team to LA and made two Super Bowls, winning one in 2021.

General Manager Joe Hortiz ’98, previously the director of player personnel for the Baltimore Ravens, spent more than 20 years with that organization, winning Super Bowls in 2000 and 2012. He was appointed general manager of the Los Angeles Chargers in January 2024.

Auburn Magazine brought these two general managers, competitors—and friends—together to discuss life in the pressure cooker of pro football.
