- New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton expects WR Willie Snead IV to be present for the start of training camp Snead is still not under contract for the 2017 season after failing to sign his exclusive rights tender the Saints tendered him with this offseason, but Snead has said via text that “he will be on the practice field”.
- Snead was one of the most dangerous receivers when lined up in the slot last season. Snead’s 56 receptions were the seventh most from the slot in 2016 and his 707 receiving yards ranked fourth among receivers with at least 32 targets from the slot. He was also efficient running routes in the slot, as his 1.89 yards per route run also ranked fourth.
- Snead progressed well from his rookie season, improving on his overall PFF grade of 79.9 in 2015 to an overall PFF grade of 84.1, which ranked as the 16th best wide receiver last season.
