Jared Wiley has impressive acceleration into open space after the catch for 6'6" 250

Effortless gear up once he secures the ball pic.twitter.com/AsLC9Ioesk

There are a lot of ways Wiley can attack a defense over the middle -- just ask Baylor

Whether it was flying up the seam, finding the endzone on a catch & run, or securing a pass btwn defenders, Wiley torched the Bears in '23 pic.twitter.com/xsAyDOh2b0

Wiley has a good feel for spacing over the middle, btwn defenders as well

Strong route on the first one, good understanding of cheating a route to beat coverage in the 2nd pic.twitter.com/WPypG0OpdC

The #Chiefs should have no problem spreading out in 12 or 13p with Wiley on the field

He is efficient enough in his release footwork to flex out & run quick game pic.twitter.com/HTFZ4i05j1

He didn't get a target on either of those over routes, but you can see the fluidity of his route path btwn defenders, gaining speed and running into space pic.twitter.com/OhgWL4NAZy

It's just one play, but a good representation of what Wiley needs to work on as a blocker

He's athletic and big, but he grabs here and draws holding. Needs to work on his footwork on blocks to help him stay engaged pic.twitter.com/Ov0WGfQ1US
