Johnny Wilson transferred Arizona State to Florida State in 2022.
wide receiver and Philadelphia Eagles rookie Johnny Wilson is reportedly turning some heads just north of the Mason-Dixon line. The sixth-round pick slid in the NFL Draft despite his gargantuan frame and catch radius. However, coming out of training camp, the 185th overall pick might be known more for his ability to contribute on the field in the coming months.
The Philadelphia Eagles have been looking for a third wide receiver to complement A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith for the better part of the last two years. In 2023, they thought Julio Jones could fill that role, but Jones was a shell of himself last year. This offseason, the Eagles signed DeVante Parker, but that lasted a week as Parker surprisingly retired.
That leaves Wilson to compete with Parris Campbell, Joseph Ngata and Ainias Smith during training camp. So, keep an eye on the news coming out of Philadelphia this summer as the sixth-rounder could be a sleeper in the fall.While drops were a problem at times, no one could deny his God-given talent and abilities. Those inside the Eagles front office took notice, too.
“He has physical dimensions that are in line with most of the big 'F' tight ends in the NFL,” Eagles director of player personnel Alan Wolking“He has this rare body type, but he doesn't move like a tight end. He moves like a real receiver. Some people may want to move that body type inside, but throughout the process there was a lot of evidence that he can play outside.
Wilson could line up alongside A.J. Brown and Heisman winner DeVonta Smith. He is currently listed as a second-teamer behind Parris Campbell for the third wide receiver spot, according toBorn in Orlando but raised in Lake County, Florida, Jackson Bakich is currently a senior at Florida State University. Growing up in the Sunshine State, Bakich co-hosted the political talk radio show "Lake County Roundtable" and was a frequent guest for "Lake County Sports Show" .
