  This kids a beast. Extremely athletic and physical player. Had to suck for him playing behind Gonzalez all those years, but I remember him well from his college days and hes very exciting to watch. Great to see a Pitt guy AND a Lancaster Pa guy in green!!!

    Agreed. Im from Lancaster and was able to follow him throughout his whole career. I think he is gonna surprise a lot of people. This is gonna be a bold statement, but I seriously believe he could end up being our starter next year once LJ bolts.

      hell, we just need Dan Kreider and we can move the team to Lancaster haha

  Kris Wilson is a great player. I live in Lancaster and live like 5 minutes from McCaskey. Plus it helps that this guy is and was an Eagles fan like us when young. Great signing!! Bye-bye schobel!!

    Well, I see what you are saying about his versatility, but he definitely doesn't have hands like Clark
    • DTRIK19 replied March 26, 2008

      his hands are pretty damn good buddy, not sure where you're getting your info. I watched him make some great catches in college...i wouldn't worry about his hands.
      • Enriquefed replied March 26, 2008

        I'm not saying they aren't good, but Dallas Clark is a whole nother level!
    • DTRIK19 replied March 26, 2008

      eh, Dallas Clarks overrated. Take Peyton away from him and lets see what he can do.
      • Enriquefed replied March 26, 2008

        I'll give you that one

    I think the real question is who cares...
    • tcbailey24 replied March 27, 2008

      thats true
• DTRIK19 said March 26, 2008

  "Despite more pressing needs, the Chiefs took TE Kris Wilson — a player with hands, speed and athleticism almost comparable to Pro Bowler Tony Gonzalez — in the second round."
  
  found this interesting quote from a profootballweekly.com article in 2004. Shows what people thought of him coming out of college. Hard to showcase those skills behind Gonzalez

    Good find! The question is, will the Eagles play him at fullback or tight end, or both?
• DTRIK19 said March 26, 2008

  thats a great question and i think the only way to answer that is to say that he'll be a weapon however they use him; a true asset to the team.

  Who's the odd guy out once the season starts? I'm guessing Schobel

  Today at the press confrence Wilson said he would be used primaraly as a tight end. That puts 4 tight ends on the team.

  Schobels as good as gone...definitely expendable

• phillyfanpat5 said March 27, 2008

  Good point, I agree but does that mean they signed wilson just to put him at third string? Or is Celek still the third tight end? I thought he came on strong at the end of last year. Im not sure, could there be a possible suprise?
