Chad Wheeler

At 6’6″, 310 lbs, Wheeler profiles well for the NFL. He is injury prone, however, having missed significant portions of each season at USC.

Competitive and intelligent, he has the head for the game but his body may betray him. The injuries have restricted his quickness and lateral movement, and he projects as a right tackle in the league, likely as backup.

Odds are that the draft passes without hearing his name called, but he could potentially go as high as the third round with an outstanding performance in the combine.
