Roman Wilson

For how talented he is, I think that Roman Wilson is being significantly overlooked. He didn't have crazy production at Michigan because of the lack of emphasis on the passing game, but he made huge plays whenever he had the chance. He also has crazy athleticism that many people aren't aware of. Wilson came in at no. 6 on Bruce Feldman's combine freak list of players to watch for at this year's event. He reportedly ran a 4.33 40-yard dash and I'm expecting Wilson to really shine in some of the tests.

Wilson had an incredible performance at the Senior Bowl a few weeks ago that really opened the eyes of a lot of people. If he has another good performance at the combine he could potentially even climb into the first round of the draft this year despite this being a loaded wide reciever class. Wilson is largely considered somewhere between the 7-15th best receiver in this class but he could really move up after this week.
