The Philadelphia Eagles are preparing to take on the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football at home. One of the young players that definitely took advantage of his small time on the field was rookie receiver Johnny Wilson. Kellen Moore spoke to the media on Wednesday and was asked about Wilson’s play last Friday. “Johnny did an awesome job, fired up,” said Moore.
“There’s a bunch of highlight blocks in there. He took advantage of his 10 or so snaps. He’s got a role for us.” Moore believes that Wilson is best out of the slot, which is great because A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith hold the other two positions down.
“He just does an excellent job,” said Moore. “He’s got great spatial awareness, great feel for the game. I think when you play inside as a receiver, there’s a lot more variables. There’s a nickel on top of you, but there’s a safety, there’s backers. “You’ve got to have the awareness to kind of see – have great spatial awareness to recognize all those aspects and see how those moving pieces change the picture for you.”
