Dad’s Take on Johnny Wilson
*adjusts glasses and squints at card* Look at this beanpole trying to look tough while tippy-toeing around like he's practicing ballet! Kid's got the wingspan of a condor but he's posing like he's afraid to mess up his pretty white uniform. Back in my day, receivers didn't need to leap over defenders – they just ran through 'em instead of prancing around like some kind of space-age flamingo!
About Johnny Wilson
Wilson defies his 6-foot-6 frame when he attacks the ball midair. "Most big guys can't bend," said Eagles receivers coach Aaron Moorehead. "They're stiff, which is why it's harder to play wideout in the league. He can bend, he's not a stiff guy, he's got great catch radius, he's tough."

A long and lanky receiver with a massive wingspan, Wilson overwhelms defensive backs with sheer size and strength. He'll use his long strides to run past coverage and can leap over defenders to pluck contested catches out of the air. He can also quickly adjust to reel in off-target throws.

Well try here. The Philadelphia rookie is a smooth route-runner and turns tight throws into easy catches with his through-traffic concentration. Oh, and that 6-foot-6 frame? Yep.
