Where do I start on Marquess Wilson?
- Has no work ethic. Lazy in practice, takes plays off in games. Clearly hasn't put much effort in the weight room, still hovering around 175lbs for a guy at 6'4".
- Unwilling to take hits. He intentionally whiffed on catches this year when he felt defenders closing in. Zero toughness.\
- Huge case of the dropsies, especially anything over the middle. He became a one trick pony running great vertical routes.
- Attitude problems on and off the field.
- Benched for a freshman who is almost physically identical, and outworked Wilson all season in practice.
That's not even scratching the surface of the quitting and lying, with the false abuse allegations. He cost our university tens of thousands of dollars in attorney fees while a frivolous investigation had to be conducted due to the severity of his(step-father's) lies, and put our football program in an undeserved negative light. Do you really want to roll the dice on bringing a guy with his baggage onto a team that is missing 2 or 3 pieces from building a potential dynasty?
I'd be surprised if he lasts in the league, given what we've seen from him the past 3 years. No way in hell can I see the Hawks using a pick on him unless he has a hell of a combine, and is still sitting around in the 6th round.
I understand these young guys can and do change over time, at some point something has to click for them if they're ever going to sniff their potential. Just not very optimistic that it happens for him over the next 3 months and that his body is NFL-ready.
