Scouting Reports

1/1

Preseason Scouting Report by Joe Belic

Created August 24, 2021

Projection: 1st Round
Notes:

(+) Route Running

Wilson knows precisely where and when to run and does an excellent job manipulating defenders and getting open. 

(+) Body Control

Wilson is an elite athlete and outstanding at adjusting to a ball in the air and making the catch regardless of its placement.

(+) Versatility

A dynamic three-level YAC monster—who can play both inside and out—Wilson can attack a defense in the short, intermediate, and deep part of the field.

(-) Needs Outside Work

The vast majority of Wilson's snaps were in the slot last season, and I'd like to see him lineup out wide more often. From what I've heard, Ohio State plans to deploy him in this fashion more frequently, so I'm excited to get a deeper evaluation of his overall skill set.

(-) Strength

He needs to add some weight and get more physical at the catch point. According to PFF, Wilson is only "8-of-20 in contested catch situations for his career."

(-) Concentration Drops

Wilson has great hands but needs to be more laser-focused with his approach as he can suffer from the occasional unforced drop.
