“I believe he’s enhancing every single day,” Rodgers stated, per Professional Soccer Speak’s Michael David Smith. “You possibly can’t skew the outcomes from the small print. You take a look at his recreation the opposite evening, he made a pair splash performs. However we’re going to educate him laborious. His receiver coach, Artwork [Smith], and myself on the small print, as a result of the small print are what make the distinction. And regardless that he had a few massive performs, there’s some room for enchancment there.”
Wilson was restricted to 6 snaps as a rookie attributable to ankle and hamstring accidents. However now that he is again to full power, Rodgers will not child or spoon-feed him.
“Wouldn’t say something if we simply thought he was going to be a man, simply any man that might you throw in. However I believe he has an opportunity to be a big-time expertise within the league. So, we’re going to carry him to a excessive commonplace,” Rodgers stated.
The third-round speedster will more than likely start the season because the fourth or fifth pass-catcher within the pecking order.
