Coming into the season it was hard to envision Cedrick Wilson playing a large role in the Cowboys offense. In an offense that features three Pro Bowl-caliber receivers, two extremely talented running backs and two solid tight ends, it didn’t seem like Wilson would be too involved.
As we all now know, that all changed when Michael Gallup went down in Week 1. Gallup’s injury provided an opportunity for the former sixth-round pick to get his first real extended action to show what he can do. So far, six games in, Wilson has impressed.
The 25-year-old wideout has caught 14 passes on 19 targets for 168 yards and scored two touchdowns.
