Derek Moye, Markus Wheaton, and Justin Brown were out in California last week, working on chemistry with their quarterback. As I surmised in a previous post, they were indeed in Irvine, California, where Rep 1 Sports, Ben’s representation agency, is located. Moye told the Beaver County Times about the workout session.

“It went well,” said the 6’5″ receiver. “It was a chance to get out there and catch some balls from him on the field, but we didn’t do that all day, we were able to get to know each other a little bit better as well.”

It goes without saying that this kind of extra time is crucial for developing timing and chemistry with these young wide receivers. Ben knows it, which is likely why he invited them out with him.

“It was really about [Ben] getting a feel for some of us a little bit more,” Moye said. “We ran some different routes that he wanted to work with us individually on.” The Rochester native went on to say that he’s trying to get better this off-season, and that he knows that this year is a big year for him. It sounds like he’s starting out on the right foot.
