John DeShazier: 'Humbled and blessed' Willie Snead making his mark with Saints

Willie Snead

The first-year receiver leads the team in receiving yards (240), is second in yards per catch (15), is third in receptions (16), has the Saints’ second-longest reception this season (63 yards) and is one of four Saints with a touchdown reception in the first four games.

It’s a gargantuan leap for a player who might’ve needed binoculars to see a roster spot when the Saints began organized team activities in the offseason, but who arguably has been the team’s most productive receiver as New Orleans (1-3) enters Sunday’s game against the Eagles (1-3) at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
