When I first started watching film of Garrett Wilson prior to the 2022 NFL draft as a possible New York Jets selection, three words stood out to me: Explosive. Dynamic. Ouch.
The first two are understandable and were validated with Wilson’s rookie season. The Offensive Rookie of the Year managed to put up the 11th-most rookie receiving yards of all-time playing with quarterbacks that didn’t make replacement level.
What was the third all about, though? Why did I say ouch when looking at his film, and why do I continue to cringe every time Wilson makes a cut?
