Eagles select Johnny Wilson with the 185th overall pick

"That doesn't matter if you're in the interior of the offensive line or out there playing wide receiver. Again, the strong guys can come in all shapes and sizes. So, we really value that in the wide receiver position. The quickness, the play strength, and he has that. For his size he has good quickness. So, we're really looking forward to working with him."

What Director of Player Personnel Alan Wolking said: "OBVIOUSLY, the size stands out. He has physical dimensions that are in line with most of the big 'F' tight ends in the NFL. He has this rare body type, but he doesn't move like a tight end. He moves like a real receiver. Some people may want to move that body type inside, but throughout the process there was a lot of evidence that he can play outside. When you watch him out there, he's explosive in the takeoff. He climbs up the stem and at the top of the route he sinks and he bends. If you watch the curls, the comebacks – a lot of these guys are leggy in the turnover. You think those guys are going to get undercut. This guy is more of your glider with legitimate bend. He can play like a much shorter person, but then you get all of the wingspan elements that really expand the radius for him. You get a guy where the natural bucket that you're throwing into is just massive. The physical stature is really just an anomaly. He can make some of the most spectacular catches … and what you see is that he has the ability to get balls that almost no one can get to."
