Johnny Wilson college stats, highlights
While Wilson struggled with injuries this past season, when he was playing, he was a dependable target for FSU's quarterbacks. His 6-foot-7-inch height advantage saw him win a lot of 50/50 battles and pull in passes that may have not been on target.

This past season he recorded 617 yards receiving on 41 receptions and two touchdowns. Over his college career, he's recorded 1,757 yards receiving on 102 receptions and eight touchdowns.
His best season was in 2022 when he recorded 897 yards receiving on 43 receptions and five touchdowns.
He had two dominant performances against LSU and Boston College where he recorded over 100 yards receiving in both games. He had 104 yards on seven receptions against LSU and 105 yards on four receptions against Boston College.
Willson also recorded both his touchdowns this past season in the same game against Virginia Tech. In 2022 in the Cheez-It Bowl against Oklahoma, he set a career-best 202 yards receiving on eight receptions.

It would benefit Wilson to put on a little more muscle/weight going into the NFL, but his length and reach are a huge benefit.
