When Markus Wheaton was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles on May 2nd, a lot of people paid that move little attention. No one’s saying that you were wrong for doing so, if you were among the unimpressed.
After a forgettable rookie campaign in 2013 for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Wheaton had two very good years in ‘The Steel City’ before a shoulder injury in his third wrecked a pretty good thing that he had going. The Steelers parted ways with the former third rounder, and the Chicago Bears signed him to a two-year deal on March 10th of 2017.
