Johnny Wilson

Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said the team has no plans to move WR Johnny Wilson to tight end.

There was plenty of pre-draft chatter that the hulking Wilson (6'6/231) could fit better as a tight end in the NFL. Roseman told reporters on Monday that Wilson “can run the full route tree” and that wideouts are usually moved to tight end when they lack “lower body flexibility to get in and out of breaks.” “We don’t see that with Johnny,” Roseman said. Wilson, whose best collegiate season (2022) ended with 897 receiving yards, could fit in as a distant WR3 option behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in 2024. His targets will be limited in the balanced Eagles offense.
