Willie Snead's deep understanding of the game has been a major key to his success
By Nick Underhill -- Advocate
Sometimes it’s easy for the Saints to forget how far Willie Snead has come as a wide receiver, and how deep his understanding of the game goes.
When he showed in camp before last season, it seemed like he already had it all figured out and was ready made to make plays.
“I probably don't appreciate that as much because it just seems like when we first got him that came natural to him,” coach Sean Payton said.
That level of polish also can also make it difficult to see how much Snead has grown in the classroom and in his understanding of the game from when he caught 984 yards as a rookie to this season, which is where a large portion of his success comes from.
The receiver pulled in 69 passes last season and often made things look easy, but his production disguised the fact that he was trying to process a lot of information on the field, sometimes at a slower pace than he'd like.
