The Philadelphia Eagles made the dreams of Florida State star receiver Johnny Wilson come true on Saturday night, selecting him with the No. 185 overall pick in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Shortly after he was picked, his rookie contract details were revealed by the Spotrac website.

His rookie contract is worth four years, $4.219 million. The signing bonus is worth $199,565. He is just one of many different Seminole players to be selected in this weekend’s draft.

Florida State wide receiver Johnny Wilson was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles with the No. 185 pick in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Wilson played his final two seasons with the Seminoles after his first two were at Arizona State. Over the course of his career, Wilson finished with 102 catches, 1,757 yards, eight touchdowns and 17.2 yards per catch.

His best season came in 2022 with Florida State when he finished with 43 catches, 897 yards, five touchdowns and 20.9 yards per catch.

As a member of the Class of 2020, Wilson was a four-star recruit out of Calabasas (Calif.) High, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 23 overall prospect in the state, the No. 49 wide receiver in the class and the No. 283 overall prospect in the class.

Wilson was Second-Team All-ACC in 2022 and Third-Team this past season.

What draft analysts are saying about Johnny Wilson

NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein evaluated the tape and broke down what Wilson could do at the next level. His NFL comparison is Devin Funchess.

“An enormous target with an elite catch radius, Wilson is still in the process of learning to play to his traits,” Zierlein wrote. “He is fairly physical against press but plodding feet limit his release quickness and ability to separate out of breaks. He flashes impressive catches here and there but generally fails to impose his frame and strength on defenders, leading to a disappointing contested-catch rate for such a big man.

“In general, Wilson’s body control and ball skills might not be good enough to stick at wide receiver. He could end up trying to make a team as an F tight end with enough developmental traits to warrant an extended look.”
