One of the New Orleans Saints' greatest needs this year is to find a “Willie Snead type” of receiver.
One of the biggest questions is whether Snead himself can be that guy.
Snead, who is a restricted free agent, flirted with 1,000 yards in both 2015 and 2016. But he practically dropped off the map last year, finishing with only eight catches for 92 yards in 11 regular-season games after beginning the year with a three-game DUI suspension and a nagging hamstring injury.
Snead did add three catches for 25 yards in the playoffs, though, including a huge fourth-and-10 conversion that set up a potential game-winning field goal attempt at Minnesota.
