I really like Matt's write ups on these prospects. He really goes into depth about some of the technical aspects. He's working on a Quinton Patton write up that I'm anxious to read.

So...I'm guessing he's a fan of Markus Wheaton. LOL.

Good stuff. Thanks KB.
Certainly comes through that Wheaton is looking very good.
Can't wait to see how that stacks up after a week of practice and a game. -
He still reminds me of Chad Johnson. Johnson had one of the quickest and best releases off the LOS that I've ever seen when he was in his prime- it was pretty darned good at Dolphins TC as well. I wouldn't say that Wheaton looks as good in that regard, but he's quick and very fast- the footwork reminds me of CJ, for better or worse. This clip isn't the greatest example, but you can see at 1:27 some quicks off the line and some very good acceleration tracking down a deep ball down the sideline:

Basic but beautiful post at 2:18 there. I would say that there are some similarities to Mike Wallace as well.
I don't love him, but I like him. Quick feet, but at the same time he doesn't look especially good moving laterally with his cuts. I see a speed guy who uses quick feet on his LOS releases more than a true cutter or slasher.
