Scout Ed Dobbs on Luke Willson: "Had a down year this year, but had 29 catches last year, 33 the year before. His Pro Day was phenomenal."

Adam Wright ‏@BlueOsprey 1m
Ed Dobbs specifically mentions Willson's blocking ability. Also calls him a "down the field threat from the TE position".

Adam Wright ‏@BlueOsprey 42s
Willson dealt with an ankle injury last season, but says "I'm the healthiest I've been in a long time now."

Jameson Konz 2.0? Hopefully Willson is a good blocker too.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Another nice big target for RW3!

He won't be used as an in-line blocker. He's more a joker type.

Think about it this way...in a 2 TE set, when defenses are flustered trying to cover Harvin, Rice, Tate and Miller...this is the kind of guy to leak out into soft coverage spots and kill it.

 

[Atradees]

If they are athletic they can catch on special teams. Good pick.

 

[bmorepunk]

Don't worry, scro.

Stop that.

 

[joeseahawks]

his name is Wilson. nu'ff said...

 

[RichNhansom]

6'5" 251lbs, hmm well I think we can eliminate the thought it might be Russell's son.

 

[Hawks46]

6'5" and a 38" vertical is pretty sick.

Also said he was a good blocker in one of the tweets. Looks like could be a good pickup in a year or two.

 

[TDOTSEAHAWK]

This guy is an athlete - I will say that.

 

[bigcc]

competition for fells and the 3rd te spot

 

[MizzouHawkGal]

Nothing wrong with giving Wilson another toy to play with. His combine numbers were freaky.

 

[Blitzer88]

Still haven't been able to find much info on him, anyone else have better luck?
