A bull rusher but Gary is better at that role.<br /><br />I love Wheatley as a short yardage blocking TE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-74014927955248130562015-07-04T22:21:42.814-04:002015-07-04T22:21:42.814-04:00In thinking that he'll drop 10-15 pounds and s...In thinking that he'll drop 10-15 pounds and stick as a blocking TE, I appear to be in the minority. I don't know if he'll beat out Williams, but I think he's probably the leading candidate for the backup role with a decent shot at beating him out. <br /><br />Nobody knows exactly what this Harbaugh-Drevno offense will look like.without David Shaw and Andrew Luck, but I'll guess that somebody with Wheatley's size and athleticism plays a prominent role over the next 4 years.<br /><br />I doubt he red-shirts, but that wouldn't be the wrong thing to do for a blocking TE under normal circumstances. If he does, it would be an early indicator that he might be headed toward the OT track that so many seem to think he's headed towards.Lanknowsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-71468377254786008422015-07-04T13:52:36.375-04:002015-07-04T13:52:36.375-04:00He will play this fall, I have no doubt of that. ...He will play this fall, I have no doubt of that.

Would be great if he could grown into the next #77. Could he do a year as a backup TE while they need depth then redshirt and bulk up to OL size?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-83078186313699164842015-07-04T11:00:57.340-04:002015-07-04T11:00:57.340-04:00If I'm this kid, I'm pulling up a chair ri...If I'm this kid, I'm pulling up a chair right next to Jourdan Lewis in front of the Jugs machine and I'm not leaving until somebody in authority tells me I have to.

But the kid is well on his way to 6'7" 300 lbs. Just don't see a kid his size in HS winding up anywhere other than OT in college. I guess if he does not get too big, he could stick it out as a better version of AJW at TE. Although Wheatley looks like he'll wind up even bigger than AJW. Looks like someone Beilein could use in the paint.Painter Smurfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-4669680951655008152015-07-04T10:16:12.836-04:002015-07-04T10:16:12.836-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11013371515375046127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-61993190031885525692015-07-04T10:15:57.058-04:002015-07-04T10:15:57.058-04:00I can't believe how big he looks next to Wheat...I can't believe how big he looks next to Wheatly.
