Quick Game

One of the areas Wilson has improved the most in is the quick game.

We knew when he was a prospect that he could make off-platform throws. Being able to use different warm angles, like in the clip below, to get the ball around defenders was a key reason.

Here’s an off-platform example…

Wilson has become much better with his quick reads against zone coverage. I didn’t expect this from him. Here are some examples of seeing receivers underneath and hitting them.

I’d always thought of Wilson as a boom-or-bust quarterback, but I’m seeing more of a game manager given his abilities underneath and his lack of production on deep throws.

Of course, he doesn’t bat 1.000 when reading the underneath throws…

Still, I come away happily surprised.
