The Pro Football Writers of America named Rams general manager Les Snead the winner of the 2024 Horrigan Award.
Snead, the 52nd winner of the award, was praised for his professional relationships with media covering the league. He is the second member of the Rams franchise to receive the award, with then-coach John Robinson winning it in 1992.
Snead is the first GM to win the Horrigan since Buffalo’s Brandon Beane in 2021.
The Horrigan Award is presented annually to a league or club manager for his qualities and professional style in helping professional football writers do their job. Jack Horrigan was a sports journalist for UPI and the Buffalo Evening News, director of public relations for the American Football League (1963-66) and vice president of public relations for the Bills (1966-73). Joe Horrigan is in his 45th year in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Other 2024 nominees for the Horrigan Award were 49ers general manager John Lynch, NFL vice president of communications Brian McCarthy and NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent.
