Matt Snell still has the broad shoulders you remember. Even at 74, you can see the frame that made him a professional athlete.
As he walks toward you, making his way through the garage of his Jersey City construction business, his gait is slow, but you picture him with the big green No. 41 on his back.
On Tuesday, he was walking between a blue Cadillac and a gray, vintage 1960s Corvette, but in your mind he always is running around the left end and Winston Hill’s block into the Orange Bowl end zone on that January day in 1969.
