I like this guy from the day we drafted him in 2017. He did not play much on defense until game 6, but he played a third of the defensive snaps (22 per game) after that until going on IR after game 12.
He also has the potential to be used as a "gadget" player on offense. He did that in college.
I know workout numbers don't make guys great football players, but Wilson is an incredible athlete. He had a 41 inch vert, 11'2" broad jump, benched 225 24 times and ran a 4.36 forty.
Loved the pick myself right from the bat and thought he would be our new stud ST's pick for the future.
Nice to see one of the players I liked besides Mixon doing great things.
Wilson made a couple nice pass breakups this season too, very versatile.
