[VARIOUS SPORTS SOUNDS] ERIC EDHOLM: All right, let's break down one of the best wide receiver prospects in the 2022 NFL draft. That would be Ohio State's Garrett Wilson. For his upside, Wilson has outstanding hands and body control. He can make the tough catches on the outside, over the middle, pretty much anywhere on the field. He also ran a faster 40-yard dash than almost anyone expected at 4.38 seconds. And he's got terrific play strength to break through tackles and squeeze the most he can out of every single catch. On the downside, he's average sized. And he might not be a true deep threat on the next level. Can he also be a true number one receiver? That's a question a lot of evaluators have. Some believe he's merely a very good number two. For a comp, we came up with two players he reminds us the most of, Emmanuel Sanders and Robert Woods. Two guys who are closer to the good number two than the true number one, but both excellent football players. [MUSIC PLAYING]
