Why has Wheaton failed this year?

people forget moye is a nice sized kid too. compare him to what's in the draft this year. 6-4 1/4 and is 209 and runs a 4.46 40. we have that guy here and don't use him, why draft another one? I would be up for a fast smaller guy that gets 3 steps on the defenders that could actually catch the ball, if the throw would ever be there.

 

It's pretty obvious to me that wheaton's main problem is his timing...... the kid's not used to the speed of the game yet. Timing routes are something a lot of young receivers struggle with. Wheaton still hasn't grasped the fact that when he turns around that the ball will already be in his face..... you don't get that timing overnight..... he'll get it with more reps.

 

Sorry not buying it about Moye he's not a guy teams would double team. The Steelers need to find that big physical receiver in the draft. People complaining about Wheaton must forget that Sanders and Brown didn't do much their rookie seasons either they had veterans ahead of them on the depth chart.
