Former Golden Gopher wide receiver Ernie Wheelwright signed a free-agent contract with the Baltimore Ravens this past spring, after completing his eligibility at Minnesota. Wheelwright, who finished his career as one of the most decorated wide receivers in Minnesota history, is currently featured as the lead story on the Ravens' website.

The article, which can be viewed by clicking here, discusses a number of topics from Wheelwright's love for acting to his family name. The story also discusses Wheelwright's ability as a wide receiver and the advantage he has being the tallest wide receiver on the Ravens' roster.

Wheelwright finished his Minnesota career No. 3 in career receptions and receiving yards. He finished No. 2 on the all-time receiving touchdown list in the Gopher record books. Wheelwright also grabbed 66 receptions last season, giving him the second-best single-season total in school history.
