Continuing with our post-draft series, I wanted to look at and provide more context for the wide receiver position and Steelers third round pick Roman Wilson using Sports Info Solutions (SIS). I’m focusing on players selected in the 2024 NFL draft, and one player was excluded due to SIS not tracking smaller school players. The goal for today is to see how Wilson stacked up to his peers, and what that could possibly mean as he starts his NFL journey.
Let’s dive in, starting with on target catch percentage (total receptions/number of catchable targets) which highlights the quality of targets and connectivity along with drop percentage (drops/catchable targets) to see who made the most of their expected catch situations:
Wilson lands favorably on the visual, well above the mean among drafted WRs in both data points.
