Limas Sweed is about to be nailed to the bench for the Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers thought they had a steal in the draft last season when they took Limas Sweed (WR) out of Texas. But, he only caught 6 passes for 64 yards (10.7 avg) as a rookie last season. When Nate Washington decided to leave for the Titans as a free agent the Steelers felt that Sweed would step up and replace him as the #3 WR. Boy has he failed them this season so far. He has caught 1 whole pass for a whopping 5 yards. He just can’t catch a football, period. Lucky for the Steelers that they drafted Mike Wallace this season. He has stepped up into the #3 WR role for the Steelers as he has caught 12 passes for 147 yards (12.3 avg) so far this year. Sweed is so far down on the depth chart that I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he winds up with another team as early as next season.
