Last season, Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy completed 25 of 46 passes of 20 or more air yards for 706 yards, 10 touchdowns, one interception, and a passer rating of 130.0. Roman Wilson caught 12 of those passes on 18 targets for 311 yards and six touchdowns, so you know where most of the explosive plays came from.
Overall, Wilson caught 48 passes on 67 targets for 789 yards and 12 touchdowns — all career highs through his four seasons with the Wolverines. When he gets to the NFL, Wilson’s next team will have a high-caliber slot weapon who can work the field as few others can in a big-play sense. And if you’re of the opinion that Michigan could have aired it out a lot more than it did last season, perhaps Wilson is due for a statistical rise.
