2024 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about JOHNNY WILSON:
Florida State | HT: 6063 | WT: 231 | 40 time: 4.52 | Arm: 3538 | Hand: 1000 | Wing: 8412
Two-year starter. All-ACC in 2022. Began his career at Arizona State where he was rarely used over two seasons. After receiving very little attention in the transfer portal, he settled in at Florida State and became an immediate weapon for their passing game, finishing as the team’s number one receiver in 2022. The downfield threat led the ACC and finished third in the country with 22 receptions of 20+ yards. The long-stride speed coming from a player with a rare combination of height, weight, and length will intrigue creative offensive minds. There are options he presents that most others simply cannot. He will make the “wow” plays and he has shown signs of development from a skill set perspective. The lack of consistency from his hands on simple throws is maddening and his short area movement skills will create issues in certain situations. Whether he stays at receiver or moves to a non-traditional tight end role (a growing trend) will dictate his place on boards. There is no debating his potential to be a dangerous weapon, however. Creates a range very few can. Size is up there with the biggest ever for the position, but also pairs real vertical speed with it. Has shown ability to reach the ball at apex of extension. Top speed is enough to stay over the top. Varies releases off the line. Can win initially against tight press coverage. Has gained a first down or touchdown on 89% of his catches. Not a sudden mover as he breaks routes. Separation does not come easy. Too many drops on simple balls. Does not use his hands to frame the ball, will allow it into his frame.
2023 Stats: 41-617, 15.1 ypr, 2 TD. OSR:18/33. Draft projection: 4th/5th round
