There was plenty of pre-draft chatter that the hulking Wilson (6'6/231) could fit better as a tight end in the NFL. Roseman told reporters on Monday that Wilson “can run the full route tree” and that wideouts are usually moved to tight end when they lack “lower body flexibility to get in and out of breaks.” “We don’t see that with Johnny,” Roseman said. Wilson, whose best collegiate season (2022) ended with 897 receiving yards, could fit in as a distant WR3 option behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in 2024. His targets will be limited in the balanced Eagles offense.

One of the bigger receivers to come through the draft in recent memory, Wilson (6’6/231) topped out at 897 receiving yards in 2022 and closed out his career at Florida State with a line of 41-617-2 last year. He impressed with a 4.52 40-yard dash at the combine and could be used in a multitude of ways in the NFL. While it’s possible Wilson makes a switch to tight end or some kind of big slot role, the four-year prospect spent most of his career playing on the outside. For a player of his size, Wilson’s 42.6 percent contested catch rate is woefully underwhelming, but he averaged a solid 17.2 YPR for his career and had a 20.9 YPR in his first year with the Noles. He’s drawn criticism for his lack of polished route running and ball skills. Wilson will get time to develop while playing behind A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith early in his career.
