STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Wilson's Z role is the engine of LaFleur's offense, not a secondary option.

Wilson is the Cardinals' Z receiver, a position that is the engine of LaFleur's passing game rather than a secondary option as in traditional schemes. The Z heavily utilizes play-action concepts targeting intermediate portions of the field, requires a receiver unafraid of crossing routes and hard-hitting safeties, and can go in motion. Wilson was last year's sensation in this offense and is expected to grow his game further.
