INDIANAPOLIS — One of the truest expressions in football is “Keep your head on a swivel.” It means to be aware of everything around you, because things move so fast at every level of the game.
USF tight end Mitchell Wilcox, who caught 100 passes for 1,326 yards and 11 touchdowns in his collegiate career, won’t have to hear that experssion twice after what happened to him during Thursday night’s combine drills. During the gauntlet exercise, which asks receivers to catch passes from either side all the way across the field, Wilcox didn’t quite get his head around in time, and… well, this happened.
It was not a good time for Wilcox, who also ran an unofficial 4.88 40-yard dash and had issues with dropped passes.
