Convert him to safety.  Perfect size.

Wilson has shown flashes of talent when he’s healthy, he just hasn’t been healthy very often.

He finished last season on injured reserve after breaking his left foot again.

He averaged 16.6 and 17.8 yards per catch the last two seasons. But that was while playing a total of 14 games and catching 37 passes.

The NY Jets, where ex-Bears and ex-Browns come for unfathomable career longevity.

We went from Marshall and Forte ex-Bears, to McCown and Marquess ex-Bears.

BIG MACCCC is all about upgrading that roster. 

All we need now is Cutler. You know it's going to happen...

Wilson is around 6'3" , not 6'0".   I love how Charone Peake is an ascending talent, but this kids like this are the butt of jokes.  He had an 8 catch for 125 game last season catching passes from Matt Barkley.  If he's healthy he's a nice addition and he is still crazy young.  Hopefully, he is not also just crazy.

Where as i agree on the other guys, this kid is a bit different in that nothing is really expected from him, and he won't be paid much.

He's only 24, and has shown flashes.  If the foot hods up it will be a good signing.  If not nothing lost

Locks to Make the Team

Enunwa, Anderson, Stewart, Hansen

Legit Fight for Last 2 Spots

Marshall, Peake, Wilson

Could Surprise and Steal a Spot

KD Cannon, Chris Harper, Devin Street, Frankie Hammond (KR)

Practice Squad Candidate

Gabe Marks

Vaya Con Dios

Foxx, White

He had flashes with the Bears, and had to be accounted for. He fell to the 7th round IIRC because of problems with the Washington State coaching staff, so he left early. NEVER EVER healthy though. Hopefully his luck is better with the Jets.

Why, because the prospects are unknown  to  the NFL . On that list is speed, toughness, guile and size . All those qualities can be found in groups of that list . Before Wayne Chrebet became a house whole name he was on a list like this . Last year many around here called Robbie Anderson camp fodder .

Come opening day, players from that list will comprise the Jets receiving core and will become favorites of many a fan.

Stop.


Salas.

Graham.

Owusu.

Hill Hakim.

Harvin.

 

Speed, toughness, guile, and smarts. That worked out well too.
