Limas Sweed is roundly regarded as the first ‘bust’ of the Mike Tomlin era for the Pittsburgh Steelers. A second-round draft pick in 2008, Tomlin’s second season, he would finish his professional career with seven receptions for 69 yards and a dropped touchdown pass.
Sweed lost out to 2009 third-round pick Mike Wallace for the number three wide receiver role that year behind Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes, a pair of Super Bowl MVPs. In December of that year, he was placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury/Illness List, citing “personal issues”, which reportedly included depression.
