Johnny Wilson - the next Darren Waller?

[Whatever]

He needed to use his hands and body more because he couldnt create separation with his speed or quickness. He's a guy you'd think would be good at back shoulder jump balls but he wasn't because littler corners pushed him around. 

Johnny Wilson is not that guy he is a very physical player. He lives off that back shoulder throw such great body control.

I remember looking up Tate's contested catch % back when I had PFF and it was not impressive.  A handful of spectacular grabs fooled a lot of folks into thinking he was some jump ball machine.  Converting him to TE and getting him matched up on LB's that were just going push him around even more would never be the big boon people thought.  

WR's, particularly back half of the roster ones, get constantly misevaluated.  Because of the nature of the position, all he has to do is win 1-2 times a game to be perceived as "good" because most of the reps he loses will go unnoticed.  Drops get over emphasized because it's one of the few losses they can take that's obvious.  It does lead us to the yearly threads about the current Golden Binns winner, which are usually entertaining at least.
