At first glance, Wheeler didn’t get much work last year. I’m going to be bold and say that’s one of the reasons someone else is calling the plays this year. Wheeler, when healthy, has been a game changer for the Wildcats. I’ve talked a good bit about versatility this off-season, and Sammy Wheeler is one of the more versatile players on the field.
The bowl game against LSU provides a look at how Collin Klein will use Sammy in 2022. While he only had one grab for 12 yards, he was used elsewhere to create match-up issues. There were a few sequences where he lined up at tight end on a run play, the offense went tempo, and he was utilized as a wide receiver on the next play.
