Martavis Bryant, Markus Wheaton Competing for No. 2 WR Job

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense will be a force to be reckoned with in 2015 with Big Ben at QB, Le’Veon Bell at RB and Antonio Brown, Markus Wheaton and Martavis Bryant at WR. Not to mention TE Heath Miller and possible rookie breakout candidate, WR Sammie Coates could both see several balls come their way this season.

In a recent interview on Sirius XM Radio, Ben Roethlisberger threw a bucket of cold water on Bryant’s hype-wildfire, suggesting that Markus Wheaton (not Bryant) was the player he considered Pittsburgh’strue breakout WR. Analysts have exhausted themselves trying to understand Roethlisberger’s motives behind his comments.
