Roster spots are precious in the NFL, and any player who can play multiple roles and attack opponents in many different ways has a much better chance of sticking in the league for the long haul.
That’s why it shouldn’t surprise anyone if Wesco carves out a long career in the NFL.
A Swiss Army Knife of an offensive player, Wesco is a well-rounded player who can impact the game as both a blocker and a receiver, lining up all over the field and getting the job done with maximum effort.
“I think it was interesting to see how that fell with us with Wesco and his ability as a Y tight end with some flexibility to do other things, being able to move him in the backfield if we wanted to,” head coach Adam Gase told team reporter Ethan Greenberg during last weekend’s rookie orientation.
