He wasn't an overly great receiver in college, and he really hasn't done anything as a receiver in the NFL to-date.
10 rec for 76 yards in 27 games.
And for those curious, Wilcox has 387 offensive snaps in the NFL. So it's not like he hasn't had some opportunity.
It's more that he's extremely slow (4.88 40 time). He got a 2.40 RAS athletic score coming out of college.
He's probably never going to even be Sample-level...personal opinion anyway.
Eh, that is why I don't always put stock in the Combine or Pro days. Watching both Wilcox and Sample on the field and
playing Sample looks way slower. Wilcox has been a blocker and not featured as a pass catching TE at all so this might be
the first time we see him used this way. We will see.

I think so too, there is a reason we didn't bring in a player like Ebron off the street.

“Couple weeks. You know me, I’ll be pushing it.”
Good news, at least he will be back before the Playoffs where he can be clutch for us.
