Scouting report
“Wilson is an insanely long athlete who showcases displacement power with the long arm in addition to maintaining speed on the high side of his rush. He slides inside in sub situations. The Texas native does a great job of containing the sting and holding his ground within the run game. Considered one of Wilson’s flaws coming into the season was an absence of a pass rush plan and, while still a piece in progress, he has shown improvement in that area. He can do a greater job of coming to balance in space and changing directions. The Texas A&M transfer has as much potential as anyone in the category.” — CBS Sports NFL Draft analyst Josh Edwards (Nov. 10)
