Positives - Comments from FBG.com: Cedrick Wilson came over to the Steelers from the 49ers in free agency. 2004 was Wilson's most productive season as a pro as he caught 47 passes for 641 yards and 3 touchdowns in a dismal 49ers offense. He is a multi-talented player, having returned kicks and punts as well as playing WR, and he may continue in this role for the Steelers. Wilson is expected to compete with Antwaan Randle-El for the starting WR spot opposite Hines Ward. If he wins the job, his growth will continue and he will likely post numbers that are substantially improved over those of his 2004 campaign.

Negatives - Comments from FBG.com: Wilson's stat line from 2004 looks almost identical to Antwaan Randle-El's, as do his measurements. His game is also very similar to Randle-El's as both are smallish, speedy receivers with good hands. This is not normally a negative, but in Wilson's case it is because the Steelers already have Randle-El on their roster, and he has several years of experience in the Steelers offensive system. Wilson is slated to compete with Randle-El for the Steelers WR2 spot, but it is likely that he will wind up in Randle-El's old position as the WR3 slot receiver unless he performs considerably better than Randle-El in training camp, which is improbable given their similar build, speed, and skill set.
