Nick Sirianni Growing Frustrated With Second-Year WR’s Work Ethic at Eagles Camp

As the Eagles dive deeper into Training Camp, position battles are heating up. Some players are emerging as hidden gems. Others—quietly—are falling behind. And one name, according to multiple sources, is starting to raise concern for all the wrong reasons.

It’s not about drops or missed routes. The issue is intensity. Coaches are watching closely for signs of hunger, focus, and urgency—and one rookie wideout simply hasn’t shown enough of it. According to insiders, he’s lagging in effort during drills and not asserting himself when given full-speed reps.

Head Coach Nick Sirianni didn’t mention anyone by name, but his post-practice message sent a clear warning:

“This is Philly, not a country club. If you’re coasting through camp, you won’t be here when it ends. We need grinders, not guys waiting for handouts.”

Johnny Wilson, the 6’6” second-year WR, was once seen as a physical mismatch waiting to happen. But the gap between hype and production is widening. Sources say he’s being outworked by lesser-known receivers who show more drive and consistency.

The Eagles aren’t giving up on Wilson—but patience is running thin. In a WR room that’s getting more competitive by the day, every quiet rep is a step further from earning a role. In Philadelphia, nothing is handed out. You earn your wings. And right now, he’s still grounded.
