Former BYU TE who flashed NFL-caliber upside but battled injuries
Richard Wilson arrived at BYU as a highly touted tight end prospect, and in the 2011 season he showed why—with a 66-yard breakout against San Jose State and a reputation as one of the best all-around TEs in the room when healthy. His profile was built on a blend of catch-and-run ability, size, and versatility rather than gaudy volume, but injuries repeatedly interrupted his momentum, including a season-ending ACL tear in 2011. In the 2013 season, he finished with 24 career catches for 308 yards and 2 touchdowns, making him the kind of high-upside, physically gifted tight end who mattered more for what he could become than raw stats.
