Marvin "Snoop" Minnis added to the incredible legacy of receivers at Florida State by earning Consensus All-America honors as a senior in 2000.
Minnis came to Tallahassee from Miami Northwestern High and, after redshirting as a true freshman in 1996, appeared in 41 games with 29 starts. He had 115 receptions for 2,098 yards and 17 touchdowns, including a 98-yard scoring catch against Clemson in 2000 that is the longest play in program history and tied for the longest in ACC history. His career receiving yards total ranked 11th on FSU's all-time list and his touchdown total was 12th.
His senior season was one for the ages as he helped lead Florida State to its third consecutive BCS National Championship Game. He caught 63 passes for 1,340 yards and 11 touchdowns to earn Consensus All-America recognition and become a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award. His receiving yards total led the nation in 2000 and it was the second-highest single-season production in program history. He led the ACC and ranked third in the country with an average of 111.7 receiving yards per game and ranked third in the conference with his average of 5.25 receptions per game.
Minnis was selected by Kansas City in the third round of the 2001 NFL Draft and played three seasons with the Chiefs.
