Steelers showing some interest in Jevan Snead

wasnt he supposed to be one of the top qb's this year and wound up stinking

Stinking is a compliment. Look at his stats in the bowl game... I think he had 4 int's.

I remember watching him in one game last year, it was a thursday night game and he was awful, not to mention he did not look that big, I dont know his ht and weight but he looked under 5'10.....(he is probably like 6'5 and I will be laughed at)

Snead was terrible last season. I'm not sure he is the type of developmental QB, I'd be looking at.

He's listed at 6'3" and in the neighborhood of 220 lbs.

He had 26 TD's and 13 INT's when our Mike Wallace was his go-to guy in 2008.

Last year, though, after Wallace and Oher moved on to the NFL, he had 20 TD's and 17 INT's (but then threw another 3 INT's in the Cotton Bowl, a game Ole Miss did win over Oklahoma St. 21-7, behind Dexter McCluster's 182 rushing yards and 2 TD's. Snead was 13-23 for 168 yards in that game).

I'd take him as our #3 qb. he's got all the tools to be a good qb.

More on the level of interest the Steelers have in Snead

THURSDAY, MARCH 25

9:20 a.m.: On an earlier date in this blog, I noted how much better I thought Ole Miss QB Jevan Snead looked in his bowl game in spite of his scary numbers. Well, apparently the Steelers hare interest in the strong-armed QB as well. Two days after Ole Miss's Pro Day, TFY Draft Insider reports that the Steelers "showed heavy interest in the quarterback before the recent incident involving Ben Roethlisberger, and it could grow stronger" because of Snead's impressive workout.
Meanwhile, another mid-round quarterback, Dan LeFevour of Central Michigan, reportedly had trouble throwing deep, which is no surprise to anyone who watched him this past season.

* The Steelers attended the North Carolina State Pro Day and watched DE/OLB prospect Willie Young run a 4.91 40. If you watched Pitt run successfully at Young during the game at Raleigh last season, you're sure this poor 40 time will knock him out of Steelers' consideration.

* If you think the Steelers should be looking for a kickoff specialist, you're probably hoping the Steelers were at the North Texas Pro Day where the diminutive Tobe Nwigwe converted 3 of 4 60-yard kicks with a slight breeze.
