I just feel like Wilson's in the same range. Cam seems to get the LeBron treatment as a player, but is it right? I don't know.

Partially size, Newton has like 35 pounds and half a foot on Wilson. Newton outweighs a lot of LB, all S, and all CB. Wilson does not. So those 200 pound CB don't have to try to put a heavier hit on the guy who's a third again their size.

Then because of that size here comes the other main factor of why. Wilson will do feet first slides to avoid contact, which also avoids him being seen as a RB. Cam Newton lowers his shoulder or dives head first when running, Wilson will slide. One of those actions is that of a RB, one of those actions is that of a QB.

Same reason why Ben Roethlisberger gets a little less protection in the pocket than other QBs. He is enormous and refuses to go down, so defenders can't be reasonably expected to use the minmum amount of force possible to bring him down because he'll just shake them off.
