Ohio State football player torches the Giants secondary in practice
By Ryan Stano
NFL training camp has started to wind down. We are in the last week or so of camp and there is only one more week of preseason games left. Ohio State football players on pro rosters are ready for the regular season and have spent all offseason improving themselves.
Receivers have been a big part of the success of the Buckeyes over the last few years. Garrett Wilson has perhaps been the best of them. He was a monster on the field while he was at Ohio State and he is already the best receiver that the New York Jets have.
Wilson is the top weapon for Aaron Rodgers. Wilson recently showed off how good he is in a joint practice with the New York Giants. He showed just how good he can be when he actually has a quarterback who can throw him the ball and get it to him in the right spots.

Take a look at the clip below of Wilson torching the Giants' secondary.
His route running is part of what makes him so special. Not only does he have great hands and a wide catch radius, but he can get open quickly because of his smooth running. He just left that cornerback in the dust with his smooth cut and left himself wide open for an easy completion.
The Buckeyes are hoping that the current receivers on the roster are able to do similar things this season. Emeka Egbuka is smooth too, and Carnell Tate is getting there. The Buckeyes have supreme confidence in the receivers that they have this season, it's just about the quarterback play.
As far as Wilson is concerned, he is going to have a monster year. He has a chance to go for 1,500+ receiving yards if Rodgers can stay healthy. He's already one of the best receivers in the NFL.
