Bobo Wilson, WR

The former Flordia State Seminole will likely be another unfortunate camp casualty. Bobo Wilson sat right in the middle of the battle for the final two wide receiver spots but has fallen out of the race.

After three preseason games, Wilson has four catches for 21 yards. His counterpart, Justin Watson is leading the team in receptions and sits second in receiving yards. If Watson isn’t the fifth wide receiver to open the season, the entire fan base would be stunned.

His other top competition is Freddie Martino, who got off to a slow start as well but caught a touchdown pass against the Lions to gain momentum. Rookie Sergio Bailey would have also jumped Wilson on the depth chart, but an ankle injury has ended his 2018 season.

It would take an otherworldly performance by Wilson to sneak onto the 53-man roster. For now, it appears his push for the job has come up just short.
