Johnny Wilson Summary:
The Positives
- Surprising athleticism for size (that should be much better than most big receivers)
- Runs decent routes with suddenness on cuts

- Tallest WR measured at combine ever
- 2022 film looked like a star in the making
The Negatives
- 8 Career TDs for his Size and Athleticism is alarming
- Does not high point catches as well as he should
- Hands are shaky especially on contested catches
- 2023 film shows major regression and much more development needed
Johnny Wilson may be the boom or bust prospect of the wide receiver class. His size is otherworldly and the athleticism is there to allow him to stay at wide receiver at the next level. His tape is some of the most inconsistent you will find. In 2022, he was a dominant presence who was physical and played to his size. In 2023, he played smaller. He did not go up to get catches well and was almost a nonfactor deep down the field. He has the potential to be the next great red zone target in the NFL and I have no clue how a team will guard him if he properly develops, but it truly depends on what version of Wilson a team is getting. He does not have to switch to tight end but if he struggles as a receiver it is an option similar to Darren Waller
