Dolphins' Albert Wilson: Emerging as versatile weapon

The Dolphins have been deploying Wilson at multiple spots on offense thus far during training camp, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

The news matches reports about Wilson's usage that surfaced in minicamp, as the 26-year-old has consistently lined up all over the formation this offseason -- out wide, in the slot and in the backfield. Wilson was reportedly so impressed with how head coach Adam Gase had marketed this hybrid role to him in free agency this spring that the four-year veteran turned down offers from the Ravens, Bills and Bears, all of whom likely could have presented him with easier paths to full-time starting roles. While his upside may not be all that high within a Ryan Tannehill-led offense, Wilson at least seems to have a respectable floor in 2018 given how creatively the Miami coaching staff is plotting ways in which to get him the ball.
