Heart over Height: TSN highlights ECU football alum Tyler Snead

by | Nov 18, 2025

Although Tyler Snead and Montreal fell short of winning the Grey Cup, the ECU football alum still had a season to remember.

Snead had three highlight catches for 78 yards for Montreal in Sunday’s 25-17 Grey Cup loss to Saskatchewan. He finished the season with 1,129 yards and four touchdowns on 84 catches.

Before Sunday’s game, TSN.ca had a video about Snead and his road to the Grey Cup. He’s been underestimated nearly all his life, in part due to his 5-foot-7 frame. It’s something Snead’s father endured, too.
