Roethlisberger Believes Wheaton Will Be Steelers Breakout Player In 2015

When it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers this past offseason, most of the talk and enthusiasm has been centered on Antonio Brown and Martavis Bryant. While both are very deserving of the praise they have received over the course of the last several months, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger doesn’t want everyone to forget about his other pass catcher, third-year player Markus Wheaton.

“I really believe, to me, that Markus Wheaton is our breakout player of the year,” said Roethlisberger in a Thursday interview with SiriusXM Radio.
