Snead, Montreal Alouettes both enjoying solid starts to 2025 CFL regular season
Tyler Snead is making the most of his opportunities early this season with the Montreal Alouettes.
The third-year receiver has seven catches for 151 yards in two games. His 21.6-yard average is even more impressive considering Snead has been targeted just eight times compared to 16 for Canadian Tyson Philpot (nine catches, 90 yards and a touchdown) and 14 for Austin Mack (10 receptions, 154 yards).
Snead was targeted five times in Montreal’s 39-18 win over the Ottawa Redblacks last week, recording four catches for 117 yards. Mack had nine targets (five catches, 103 yards), one more than Philpot (five receptions, 42 yards).
“The coolest thing about playing in this offence, it can be anyone’s week on any given gameday,” Snead said. “We’ve got many plays we gameplan for based on what the coaches see and like, we have coverages we prepare for early that end up working out in our favour with some big plays.
