Ontaria Wilson has been quite a find for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The six-foot, 175-pound rookie is the CFL club's top receiver with 37 catches for 575 yards and two touchdowns at the halfway point of the season for Winnipeg (3-6).
The six-foot, 175-pound rookie is the CFL club's top receiver with 37 catches for 575 yards and two touchdowns at the halfway point of the season for Winnipeg . Wilson's emergence has been timely with starters Kenny Lawler, Dalton Schoen and most recently Drew Wolitarsky all sidelined with injuries.
The success comes after Wilson, 24, of Ashburn, Ga., had just two 100-yard games over his five-year tenure at Florida State and never recorded more than nine catches in a game before the contest versus Calgary. It has been a slow start for a Winnipeg club chasing a fifth straight Grey Cup appearance. But, despite their record, the Bombers remain in the thick of it in a very tight West Division. They trail third-place Calgary by just two points and are only five behind first-place Saskatchewan .Wilson said candidly he's not surprised with his production this season because no expects more from Wilson than he does.
However, being a receiver in Winnipeg's offence means more than just catching passes from Collaros. The ground attack is a big part of the Bombers' gameplan as running back Brady Oliveira was the CFL's top rusher last year and is tied with Toronto's Ka'Deem Carey for the league lead this season.
