Limas Sweed was once considered a draft day steal for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but after two disappointing seasons Steelers fans regarded him as wasted space and a busted pick. But, then reports came from mini camp last year that Sweed was turning his fortune around, complete with a brand new number on his jersey, hoping to rejuvenate a career where all hope was thought lost.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was reportedly very impressed with Sweed during last year’s mini camp and Steelers fans around the country were genuinely excited, anticipating that Sweed just may have that breakout season that was thought capable of him when he was drafted.

That would never happen, however, as Sweed was injured on May 11th, 2010, it was his left Achilles and it effectively ended his season, as he was placed on injured reserve.

All that hope could and should be focused into the next NFL season, which will hopefully be this year. Sweed still has the ability to turn things around, his physical tools are outstanding, he’s a big, fast, deep threat that would compliment the Steelers current receiving corps VERY well.

Potentially Sweed could be the red zone target that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been hoping for since he was drafted, a commodity that the Steelers have not had since Plaxico Burress departed for the New York Giants.
