The Discussion of WR Pokey Wilson

[Velo]

I think we are in agreement on this, barring injury Guyton will not be active; if one of the top four WRs misses games, Guyton would jump to WR4 (unless DD is killing it in his limited WR reps…could happen).

Guyton is somewhat of a special teams ace. That makes him too valuable to not activate on game day.

So…let’s forget about Pokey for the time being, shall we? Mystery to me as to why a topic and so much bandwidth was afforded the guy in the first place, lol. (another Bandy?). I suppose it was a possible diamond in the rough discussion.

Pokey is like KJ Hill IMO. Hill is Ohio State's all times receptions leader. But he didn't have the skill set to repeat that success in the NFL. Pokey reminds me of him. We'll see.

I hope not. KJ Hill was always shown making receptions when he was wide open. I think Pokeys looks a fair bit better with him getting open and making contested catches.

The thing with Pokey is he was in the ACC and they have some decent defenses. It seemed in his highlights he was always open with 5 yards of separation. If he really ran a 4.6 then that means he's a helluva route runner and his on field speed is better than his 40 suggests. .

Hill and Wilson are very similar IMO. There's a reason Pokey wasn't drafted. And there's a reason Hill almost wasn't drafted. Some players who have great college careers don't quite have the skillsets to make it work in the NFL.

I wanna see more fly passes this season. Chargers were 32nd in yards per pass. Keep Guyton. He and Herbert might connect again on deep passes, like they did.

Guyton will not be on the field much. KA, MW, QJ, JP....... You'll see him mostly on 5 wide sets. Even then you have DD with more speed to stretch the field.

",,, the legend lives on from the Seminoles lead by great chief they call, Osceola
when Pokey came to the Noles he had to gain the respect so he refused to yield
so he a stole a horse name Renegade
and planted that fiery spear into midfield...

now come the game against the Gators, they were chomp chomp chomping away
but Pokey said, not on watch , the Noles will not lose today!!!!

when Pokey finished with Florida State
nobody mentioned his name with Deion or Warrick or Dunn or Ward or any great.
he just went about his business and finished with barely a jolt
but when his name was called post draft, he became a Bolt!....."

You've got it.

The Ballad of Pokey Wilson

Pokey Wilson, a free agent receiver,
Working his way up couldn't be any sweeter
Undrafted and untested, a long shot to say
But he's working hard, hoping to earn his pay

Training day in and day out, pushing his limits
Catching every ball thrown at him, leaving no glimpses
But the coaches are tough, and the competition fierce
Pokey is struggling, his dream starting to pierce

Days turn into weeks, and weeks into months
Pokey's spirit still high, his will never confronts
But try as he might, he can't seem to catch a break
The team's stacked with talent, and there's no room for him to make

A chance comes up, a game under the lights
The big stage before him, his heart is taking flight
Pokey catches a pass, breaks a tackle or two
But it's not enough, time's up, what else can he do?

The final whistle blows, Pokey's still on the sideline
His dreams are dashed, no more chances to find
But he knows in his heart, he gave it his all
And in that, he stands much taller than if he had just taken the fall.
