Your other guy Markus Wheaton isn't doing too bad either.

Your other guy Markus Wheaton isn't doing too bad either. Wheaton is going to have probably 60-70 catches this season it looks like. The Steelers have all but abandoned the deep ball so that plays to Wheaton's strengths (he is like a poor man's Antonio Brown).

From an athletic standpoint Wheaton surpasses Brown, but Brown is also one of the hardest workers on the team and has out worked everyone that was ahead of him on the depth chart when he was still a young guy on the team. We'll have to see if Wheaton has the similar heart and determination as Brown.

They've been raving about his body control when catching the ball. It certainly would be nice if he can turn small catches into big gains like Brown.

Everyone in the nation bought into the Phil knight bought media hype about how fast d'ant Thomas was for the ducks.... Wheaton beat him 2wice in the pac12 track champs in the 100m. Kids undersized as with most OSU WRs but he is fast.

In today's NFL 180 pounds isn't too undersized, he had an excellent bench press results at the combine, and was just shy of 190 during the combine. He doesn't look what I'd consider small.

I don't know much about him, but from everything I hear, I feel like I am really going to like him... he seems like the exact type of player that I always end up loving. The SOB is probably gonna break my heart.
