You're too balanced. You're below average speed with worse agility. You jump pretty well for your level, but not so great that you can consistently haul it in over the coverage (which thanks to the speed/agility issue will always be on you), especially as catching is low for a possession guy your level (but good for a speed guy, which you aren't).

To fix the problems, cap speed. Meanwhile be training agility or using Up Downs (agility, stamina) until you can start putting points into agility. Even possession receivers are going to eventually cap both those attributes, so it's no waste no matter what your build is.

Here is how WRs are set-up within the game:

Speed and possession.

Speed rely on speed to get separation from defenders in order to make the catch.

Possession receivers rely on catching in order to expand their catch radius.

Currently you don't have enough speed to separate from fast corners and you don't have enough catching to snag the ball from slower ones. Since you have already started plugging the possession SA's I would suggest going the path of possession. Softcap catching, agility and then either pump route run to level 6 and softcape jumping and get carrying up or softcap speed and get jumping and carrying up.
