Nothing stopping him from being the #3 WR as a rookie.
Not a lot of 6-7 230 pounders who run 4.5. Most of them are playing forward in the NBA.
We’ll see how it shakes out, but I can see him getting very limited reps, like deep red zone and jumbo packages. And not very many targets.
My impression (from 2 media available OTAs, so take it with a grain of salt) is Campbell has the inside track for WR3. Ainias Smith is a promising rookie, too.
Nobody has really seen enough to say what the Kellen Moore/Sirianni hubrid Offense is gonna look like, and there’s still 100 days until kick off. A lot of speculation they are in the market for a FA WR, too.
Oh yeah, not saying Wilson is gonna get the job or anything, just saying Campbell isn't standing in anyone's way if they are any good.
The Eagles have used speed guys for that #3 WR to stretch the field. IMO, Campbell and Smith have the inside track for that slot WR.
I think Wilson will be on the PS this year with the thought of converting him to a TE.
Have they purposefully used speed guys there, or did that just happen to be the highest guy on the depth chart?
I don't see Wilson moving to TE. I forget if it was Sirianni or Roseman but right after the draft, they quickly went out of their way to say Wilson was a WR.
With Kellen Moore now calling the plays, I think AJ Brown is gonna be spending a lot of time in the slot. Moore's pass concepts tend to focus on getting the #1 WR in motion and in the slot constantly, and we've seen that with Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, and Keenan Allen last year. I don't think the #3 WR this year is necessarily the slot guy. I thought that was why they signed Parker, was to be an outside #3. I don't think Parker's retirement changes too much.
