"A guy like Kurt is sitting there thinking, 'This is just the beginning, we haven't done anything,'" said Haley, who now is the Steelers offensive coordinator.


Bens time Mr. Haley, he has the Weapons to be the MVP. :pop2:

[steelreserve]

What, you mean he wasn't the #2 guy already?

[86WARD]

Wheaton

My mistake...lol...I thought he pushed past Wheaton long ago...

[polamalubeast]

What, you mean he wasn't the #2 guy already?

Not in playing time

[BigNastyDefense]

I'd be good with that, I like Wheaton in the slot.

Rising NFL Stars to Keep an Eye On in 2015

By Matt Bowen , NFL National Lead Writer May 15, 2015

With the NFL draft behind us and offseason practice sessions about to start across the league, who are the "rising stars" we should focus on heading into the 2015 season?

Here are five players on my list, guys who are in a prime position to become household names in the years to come, based on their skill sets, where they're at in their careers and how they fit into their team's systems.

Bryant was a legit playmaker for the Steelers in 2014, and I expect even more in his sophomore season working with Ben Roethlisberger. He has the speed and red-zone ability to make the developmental jump.

The former Clemson wide receiver has the frame (6'4", 211 lbs) to earn his money in the red zone on the fade, skinny post or slant, and he can eat up the cushion of a cornerback outside of the numbers on the deep ball. He is a straight-line-speed guy who can flat-out go get it.

Remember, Bryant didn't even dress for the first six games of 2014 and still caught eight touchdown passes while running a limited route tree.

He needs to continue developing his route-running and find a way to consistently win at the top of the route (the break point). That's where he can focus on sinking his hips, creating separation and producing clean angles back to the ball on intermediate cuts.

Yes, the red-zone production and vertical ability is going to impact opposing defensive game plans, but look for Bryant to be even tougher to defend with an entire offseason to advance his route-running and technique.

I thought he was the no. 2 already. He was certainly the 2nd most productive WR when he was in the lineup

[ALLD]

Marcus Bryant is already the #2 WR. Now the battle for #3 is between Martavis Coates and Sammie Wheaton.

[tube517]

Wheaton technically was the #2 last year. Mar Tay Vee Ous didn't play every down. He had 245 snaps last year. Wheaton 745.

I expect Bryant to be the #2, Coates to get the #3 spot in 2016 and Wheaton will move on to another team and tell everyone that Ben doesn't prepare enough like his new QB.

[Steeler_Dynasty]

I'd like to see some more 4 receiver looks until we get James into playing shape. Let's see Coates do some kr/pr too if he can, and get DHB out.

Yes,but not in playing time....

Super Bowl MVP preferred for me

And don't forget we have Jesse Jackson, the new tight end from Penn State who might come out of nowhere to become a top receiver.

Lol...Jesse Jackson? Not sure if you did that on purpose...but the shit is funny...

Amen!!!

Just a little. Funny like a clown.

This.

I've seen Coats mentioned as a slot receiver but its "seems" that his skill set is more as a vertical threat. Wheaton is more of a natural slot receiver.

It has been brought to my attention that I have been getting some of the names of our WRs wrong. My apologies to Sammie Wallace.

[86WARD]

That's more of an insult to Coats...ouch. You might as well have called him Sammie Sweed...

Bryant is one of the players that I am most looking forward to seeing develop from 2014 to 2015. I'm actually really excited to see what he's got in 2015. Anything short of a #2 WR will be somewhat disappointing.

That was just a beautiful play. Ben able to heave it from his end zone and hit Bryant in stride. Ain't no stopping him now.
