The Facts: Snead's personal goal from the past two years remains unchanged. After finishing 2015 with 984 receiving yards and 2016 with 895 yards, Snead hopes 2017 will finally be the season he breaks the 1,000-yard mark. "I think. ... This year I will be able to prove that, so we'll just have to wait and see," Snead said.

Diehards Line: As Times-Picayune staffer Josh Katzenstein suggested, one way for Snead to finally hit the milestone is by adding another element to his game. Snead has thrived on short and intermediate routes because of his technique, but he's hoping this is the year he proves to be a deep threat, too. Back in June, the 24-year-old Snead said people haven't seen the deep element of his game, but he spent a portion of this offseason working on his back-end speed. With Brandin Cooks no longer on the team, the Saints will look to Ted Ginn as their primary deep threat, but Snead is hoping to see more opportunities downfield. It's another thing to watch in training camp in coming weeks.
