Roman Wilson scouting report

Wilson was the security blanket for J.J. McCarthy and the Michigan offense throughout last season. Whenever the Wolverines needed a big play, they turned to their sure-handed top receiver in Wilson, who delivered in every big moment in U-M’s 2023 run. He started 23 of 45 games in Ann Arbor and was named an All-Big Ten player in 2023. Coaches say the conviction he brought after the 2022 CFP loss to TCU helped him grow despite the level of attention he was receiving as a senior.

Roman Wilson highlights

He delivered two of the biggest plays of the season in the last-minute drive of the Rose Bowl win over Alabama that sent the game to overtime with a catch off an adjustment on a tipped pass and the eventual tying touchdown after getting free on a goal line rub. He consistently showed an ability to run tight routes to get open, getting open often over the middle and on out routes, and showed a knack for catching everything, as his catch pinning the ball against a Nebraska defender’s helmet shows.

Roman Wilson pro day results

Wilson followed up a strong Senior Bowl showing with an impressive combine. He measured in at 5-10 and 185 pounds before running a 4.39-second 40-yard dash, a 9.36-second shuttle drill and 6,89-second three-cone drill, but did not do the high jump or broad jump.
