From the article

Dontayvion Wicks and Darius Cooper are two players who have taken the most advantage of them this summer. Wicks is expected to be a key contributor in the offense. Sirianni compared his playing style to that of six-time Pro Bowler Keenan Allen — "I hope you know how much high praise that is," Sirianni said — and noted the ability to separate at the top of the route, get off press coverage and the competitive zeal. Hurts also lauded the "aggression" — in a good way — that Wicks brought to the offense. He called Wicks "twitchy," and said Wicks "can attack the ball" and "runs great routes." Wicks, who is 6-foot-1 and 206 pounds, averaged 36 catches for 442.7 yards and 3.7 touchdowns in three seasons with the Green Bay Packers. He never played more than 54 percent of the offensive snaps. Look for all those data points to grow this season.
