Week 3 Blog: Ready if number is called

**Ready for the next one:** Looking at receiver Roman Wilson's stat sheet from Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, it's not a number that might immediately jump out.

But it was a number that had meaning for Wilson.

Wilson's one catch against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, which was a seven-yard reception from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, was his first career reception.

"It was cool," said Wilson. "Just trying to keep working on what I can do to help the team. But it was cool."

Wilson was injured for the majority of his rookie season in 2024, so finally pulling in that reception was something he waited some time for.

But he isn't thinking too much about it.

"I'm really focused on going into next week and things like that," said Wilson. "Like I said, it is cool, but it's just football to me. I've had plenty of catches before, so I'm just really looking forward to the next one."

Wilson spent the vast majority of the 2024 season on the sidelines, appearing in just one game, but he didn't let that deter him from learning.

"It's been cool just working in with my reps," said Wilson. "Just working with what I get. It's been good, feeling better. So, it's been fun."

Wilson is hoping for more, but he will be happy with whoever the ball is thrown to in the receiving corps, a group he really likes.

"We've got a great room, me, DK (Metcalf), Calvin (Austin), Scotty (Miller) and Ben (Skowronek)," said Wilson. "Just a lot of great talent in there. Just keep working on it."

And with Rodgers at quarterback, he knows they can explode at any moment.

"It's really nice to hear him talking on the sideline, hear him talk in the huddle," said Wilson. "Hearing him talk about football. It's been a really cool experience to be around."
