Stanford WR Michael Wilson selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2023 NFL Draft
Stanford receiver Michael Wilson has all the talent in the world, but one thing that held him back during his time at Stanford was injury issues.
In his first two seasons on the farm he played in 22 games, and was able to play all four games of the COVID-19 shortened season. However, his final two seasons saw him on the field for just 10 games. The missed time was something that many thought would hurt his draft stock.
That was until he absolutely dominated the offseason and showcased his skillset at Reese's Senior Bowl where not a single defender was able to stay in front of him the entire week. Scouts and general managers fell in love with him, and after being viewed as a sixth or even seventh round pass catcher, Wilson heard his name called in the third round of the NFL Draft.
Wilson was selected with the No. 94 pick by the Arizona Cardinals, where he will team up with Kyler Murray.
Wilson left Stanford with 134 catches over 1,600 yards receiving, and 11 touchdowns.
