Saints WR Willie Snead proving teams made mistake by passing on him in 2014 draft

Pro day? 4.56

Big difference in the forty was the ten split 1.6 vs 1.49.

other than that the rest was so so and nothing spectacular. So he was a tape and private workout player.

BUT he has lived up to his draft billing

Strengths
Controlled mover with nice balance. Gets in and out of breaks cleanly. Runs crisp routes -- shows some savvy and subtle physicality to work himself open. Tracks and adjusts very well. Has soft, sure hands and catches naturally. Good concentration to make contested catches. Confident and competitive. Excellent two-year production.

Desire is hard to measure

Can't measure heart!

I still remember last camp when he caught a pass and tried to run straight through Brandon Browner, he didn't run over him but I bet it surprised a lot of people that he didn't try to juke him.

This.

He plays with heart. He goes back and gets the ball, he doesn't wait for it to come to him. And he's willing to take the lick, and he doesn't shy away from contact.

He's fun to watch.

He wasn't drafted, how can he live up to his draft billing? I'm not being a smart ass, just wondering what you mean by that.
