White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. – There are no assurances for Willie Snead.
All the comparisons in the world can be made about him and former New Orleans Saints receiver Lance Moore, and not a single one of them will get him a spot on New Orleans’ 53-man roster this year.
It doesn’t matter whether the wistfulness is over the near-identical physical dimensions (Snead is 5 feet 11, 195 pounds and Moore is 5-9, 190), or the fawning is over Snead’s suction-cup like hands that are reminiscent of Moore’s own super-glue-ish mitts, or the dead ringer status even drops to the fact that each played in the Mid-American Conference (Snead at Ball State, Moore at Toledo) and was an undrafted free agent rookie with Cleveland (Snead in 2014, Moore in 2005) before joining the Saints.
