Johnny Wilson knew the question was coming. The supersized Florida State wide receiver fielded it right off the bat during his NFL Scouting Combine podium interview.
Have any NFL teams he’s met with asked if he would consider playing tight end?
“No, nobody has,” Wilson responded.
It’s a natural question for the 6-foot-6, 237-pound Wilson. He towered over his podium microphone much like he did opposing DBs during his time at Florida State, and Arizona State before that.
“Just focusing on being the best receiver I can be,” the soft-spoken Wilson stated.
He described his playing style as “physical, fast and deceptive,” with an aspiration of running a 4.4 40-yard dash during his on-field workout. The physical part of that answer has led many to speculate a transition to tight end at the next level, but that’s clearly not something Wilson has interest in pursuing.
