On top of that, he was a three time Big Sky Conference 400-meter dash winner in track and field (finishing 14th in the country in 2018).He topped 1,000 yards receiving in both his junior and senior years, averaging just around 18.4 yds/rec and 5 TDs per year

When challenged with tougher competition, such as playing against former Colorado first round pick Isaiah Oliver, Wesley was able to catch passes for 102 yards and 2 TDs.While he received an invite to play at the Senior Bowl, he was unable to participate in the game due to a groin injury, but looked impressive in practices.StrengthsGreat speed. He’s a track starAbility to stretch the fieldVertical threatExplosivenessRoute runningWeaknessesPlayed against lesser competitionPerhaps a little on the short sideLet’s see his workHow He Would Fit On The RedskinsIt’s been said time and again, but the Redskins’ current receiving corps is one of the weakest in the league.It would be very surprising for the Redskins to take fewer than 2 or 3 pass catchers in the draft and not make them a priority in their UDFA selections. Wesley could be a late round sleeper who would add speed to the receiving corps and immediately compete for the WR3/4 type role. He appears to be overlooked largely because he played against lesser competition, but when tested against top talent, has been able to succeed. His inability to play at the Senior Bowl could benefit savvy-scout teams as well, as it has depressed his exposure a bit. I’d love to see the Redskins take a chance on Wesley with a 7th round pick, or at a minimum, him a priority UDFA.
