Hadn't thought much about it but maybe his anecdotal pitching one-on-one mentality did jumpstart him at WR. He at least didn't have to learn to compete one to one with corners and safeties. As well I liked his view of his speed: as fast as he needs to be.

Falcons want to re-sign Wheeler

http://www.ajc.com/news/sports/football/falcons-want-to-re-sign-wheeler/nqq3j/

BOCA RATON, Fla. — The Falcons are in discussions to re-signed unrestricted free agent Philip Wheeler, coach Dan Quinn said on Wednesday.

Wheeler, the veteran from Georgia Tech, came on strong after being picked up at midseason.

He played in nine games, making two starts. He finished with 30 tackles, a tackle for a loss and a sack. He played with the speed and urgency that Quinn covets. He’s also valuable as a reserve. He played 144 snaps (13.7 percent) and 75 snaps on special teams.

DeAndre Smelter in Chip Kelly's offense...think about it...

LOL at the guy asking Smelter about living in SF on "4th round money".

I'm fully on board with Smelter, I think he'll have a solid, long career in the NFL (Boldin comparisons seem a little played out but that is absolutely who he reminds me of). To my (admittedly biased) eyes he looked every bit as good a WR as anyone in the country his last year, including Amari Cooper.

I think his observation that he could run as fast as the guy next to him was pretty much on from what we saw. Nobody every beat him although some question his downfield speed.

His speed and length are top notch, blocking is good too. Capable of making big, even spectacular plays. Concentration and consistency were biggest weaknesses. Easy catch dropped after highlight reel catch happened too frequently. Doesn't mean he can't improve in those or even all areas. Wish him success.
