What's better than catching your first pass in the NFL from Drew Brees? Having that catch and run go for 63 yards.

In Willie Snead's first game as a pro for the New Orleans Saints, Brees found Snead over the middle on the first play of the second half. Snead broke two tackles and was brought down deep in enemy territory.

It was his only catch of the game, but it came at an important time with the Saints trailing.

Snead made the Saints' opening-day roster after a big preseason with 11 grabs for 148 yards. Before he found a home in New Orleans, he had a record-setting career at Ball State.
