At an imposing 6'6″ and weighing 231 lbs, Johnny Wilson is a physical specimen who brings a unique set of attributes to the wide receiver position.
Wilson began his collegiate career at Arizona State before transferring to Florida State, where he truly flourished. His towering frame and catch radius made him a favorite target on contested catches. In his first season with the Seminoles, he racked up 43 receptions for 897 yards and five touchdowns for a 22% dominator rating, showcasing his ability as a constant threat to opposing defenses. The big concern is his late breakout age of 21, which came in 2022. He posted a 22% dominator rating but took a step back this past season with just two TDs after Keon Coleman took over as the No. 1 target for Florida State. Still, somebody will take a shot at his rare size, hoping they can recapture his 2022 form. Not to mention, his target rate above expectation (14.7%) ranked first in the 2024 WR class. He was targeted more often than he should have been - likely due to factors relating to his massive catch radius. When he's covered, he's still "open." Many NFL teams have expressed interest in converting Wilson to tight end, which would likely be a positive for his fantasy outlook.
