Wheaton Busy Working On His Hands

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Markus Wheaton is heading into his third season and big things are expected out of the Oregon State product in 2015, according to offensive coordinator Todd Haley.

On Tuesday, the Steelers former third-round draft pick posted a video on his Instagram account that featured him working on his hands as he caught several passes from a jugs machine.

I don't remember his hands being terrible but I'm sure they can always improve. He's no Larry Fitzgerald.

his hands are fine imo, he just needs to get on the same page as ben.

With all the talk focusing on the emergence of Bryant last season, I think it was overlooked that Wheaton had a decent year. I agree with Fire Arians that Wheaton and Ben weren't always on the page at times early, but they got there as the season progressed. I look for him to have a breakout season this year.

Wheaton had some clutch catches last season, but yes him and Ben not being on the same page consistently was annoying but seemed to get better at the end.

I expect him to be great playing in the slot next season while Brown & Bryant get the attention on the outside

I'm in no way saying that Wheaton is a bum, but we've been spoiled for a while now with some solid #2 WRs, and Markus looks a lot more like most of the #3s we've had over the years. Most will not be concerned however, figuring that Bryant looks to assume that position next season. That being said, I have no doubts that Wheaton will be an incredibly solid #3 + slot receiver. With all of the other pieces in place on offense, Haley should have a pretty solid strategy come week 1.

I read a few weeks ago that it's going to be an open competition for the No. 2 spot between Bryant and Wheaton. That's great. I think most fans expect Bryant to grab it. Personally, I'm not so sure. I think Wheaton might surprise some people. Either way, the situation is going to force both of them to step it up, which only benefits the team.

We have 3 very talented receivers and they are all solid in different ways. I can't wait to see what another year of working together has done for this crew.

Here here!! Ike is teaching classes this year on how to hold, draw PI's, and drop everything thrown at you. Hopefully he will set up shop right outside of Baltimore...

I'm kinda like a Black-Hole, except it's just the opposite effect, where hardly anything ever gets pulled in. I've learned to live with it though, and I just count myself lucky that I don't have what Cortez has, which is what those science dudes called a "Static-Cling" field, where everyone around him is extra sticky, but it only works in his favor when he gets the ball all to himself.

PS: And yes, I know that last joke would only make sense if Cortez was anywhere near the receiver he's covering, but I think you know what I mean. Wheaton Busy Working On His Hands 2087824411

This WR corps will be scary good as soon as we re-sign Santonio Holmes. *insert pot stirring emoticon here*

He did, and despite his struggles to get on the same page with ben, he did have a better season than Sanders did in his first year as a starter, and that was Sanders' 3rd season in the NFL. Wheaton imo is a better fit in this offense than Sanders was.
