Many experts predict that Wheaton will fill the vacancy that wide receiver Mike Wallace left in free agency. While that is a tall task, Wheaton displayed his ability to focus on the football by juggling in an Instagram video on his account (@taewheaton).
Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders remain to pick up the majority of the receptions, but Wheaton could surprise some people early with his straight-line speed.
