Terrence Wheatley is a Weather Nerd

With rookie camp having come and gone already, if you blinked you might have missed the new players coming in and smashing themselves up with an excitement and energy you just don’t get at any other preseason workout.  The rookies are all so full of life and promise and potential.  Every one of them is staring their future in the face.  Some of them are still struggling to achieve their dream of actually making an NFL roster.  Some of them are all but assured of their spot.  Terrence Wheatley, the Patriots’ second-round draft choice, is one of those latter types of players.

So, given that Wheatley is expected to be around awhile, let’s get to know him a bit.  It turns out Wheatley is a self-professed weather nerd.  He is only a couple of credits from finishing his economics degree, but his true passion (outside of football) lies in the atmospheric sciences.  Wheatley has been into weather since he was only a boy and wants to someday study long-term weather patterns.  This is just the type of cerebral, intelligent player that Bill Belichick loves to have on his team, and it is no accident that Wheatley is now a Patriot.
