Willie Snead used to study Lance Moore’s game.
Back in 2009, when the high-flying Saints passing attack drew everyone’s attention on its run to the Super Bowl, Snead was a freshman at Glade Central High School in Belle Glade, Florida, a budding talent trying to learn to play receiver on the fly.
Snead, the son of a coach, had always tried to study the next level. A former and future quarterback with dual-threat capabilities, Snead often watched Tim Tebow and tried to pattern his game after the former Florida and Broncos quarterback.
But Snead played receiver in his first two years in high school, and Moore caught his eye.
