Bigger Wheatley feeling comfortable at new weight

When Tyrone Wheatley was a running back at Michigan, he was known not only for his great speed, but also for his size at 225 pounds. His son, Tyrone Jr., has a completely different body type, signing on with the Wolverines in February to play at tight end. But just like his dad, the new member of the Michigan team will be bigger than the average player at his position.

Looking noticeably bulked up from the past while in attendance at the Sound Mind Sound Body Football Academy last week, the younger Wheatley provide an update on his physical progress.
