Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Has elite balance tight-roping the sideline and in-and-out of his breaks, showing excellent start-stop ability and burst.
  • Has good body strength to squirm out of tackles with the coordination to maneuver his frame between defenders.
  • Has the strong hands any NFL wide receiver coach and quarterback would covet. Tracks the deep ball over either shoulder and brings in passes fluidly without breaking stride downfield.
  • Wicks combines good speed with his size, and Wicks accelerates off the line better than most big receivers.
  • Wicks accelerates 0-to-60 and hits top speed fast enough to outrun angles. He’s also flexible and agile, able to keep the pedal to the floor as he turns and weaves.
  • An impressive athlete with very quick acceleration to reach his top speed quickly and stretch the field. Very good body control and smooth movements. Plays fast and explosive.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, sometimes allowing the ball into his pads and chest.
  • He’ll have to develop a better feel for sitting down against zone coverage.
  • Wicks really isn’t a guy who will create a lot of separation against faster corners
