I dedicated one of my Thursday posts to a few receiving stats from the Pittsburgh Steelers 2014 season and in it I included the average yards after catch numbers. If you read that post, you probably noticed that wide receiver Markus Wheaton had a very low YAC average last season and come to find out, head coach Mike Tomlin has been emphasizing that very point to the Steelers third-year player this past week during the team’s first week of OTA practices.
“He’s always on me about my run after (the catch), my YAC,” Wheaton said, according to Mike Prisuta of steelers.
