Player Photo Travis Wilson
Height: 6-2
Weight: 213
40 Speed: 4.53*
Position: Wide Receiver
College: Oklahoma
Final Grade: I 5.5
SUMMARY

Wilson is a good college receiver who really stepped up in 2005 after being primarily a backup throughout his career. He has quick feet and, although he does not burst off the ball into routes, once he get moving, he accelerates to full speed quickly and can get open on short and medium routes. His quickness enables him to get open on short/medium routes despite not running sharp routes. He has excellent hands and can consistently catch any pass thrown his way -- he can get up to pluck the high pass and can lay-out to catch the slightly overthrown ball. While he has quick feet and good playing speed, he lacks the top-level playing speed to stretch the field and get separation deep. He is a thin receiver and, despite competing hard when he runs, he does not consistently break tackles and gain yards after contact. He finished his career in style and was surprisingly consistent catching the ball and making plays for an Oklahoma team that struggled passing the ball in 2005. He probably can't be a starting receiver in the NFL, but he can be a good third or fourth receiver who can make plays because of his very good hands, quickness and competitiveness.

STRONG POINTS

Wilson is a quick-footed receiver who accelerates to full speed quickly with the ball in his hands and consistently runs hard after the catch. He shows toughness going up and catching the high pass in traffic without peeking at the defense, takes the hard hit right after the catch and holds onto the ball -- he has shown the hands and jumping ability to get up and catch the high pass surprisingly well. He has very good hands to reach out and make the tough catch when he catches the ball with hands.

WEAKNESSES

While Wilson has quick feet, good acceleration and playing speed, he is a little stiff and runs upright in routes which hinders his ability to consistently runs sharp routes. Despite his quick feet, he does not burst off the ball into his route and does not show the playing speed to get separation on deep routes. He did not run a variety of routes in college, and he does not consistently break tackles and gain yards after contact. He also tends to be a body catcher. He does not give a good effort as a blocker and struggles to eliminate his man because of it.
