Graded Position Traits:

  • Athleticism: 6/10 (Could test decently well, but only seems to be a slightly above average athlete)
  • Bend: 5/10 (Kinda stiff and does not get low at all when trying to get by offensive lineman)
  • Burst: 5/10 (Average jumping the snap and does not explode off the line of scrimmage)
  • Durability: 6/10 (Missed end of season with foot injury that required surgery)
  • Hands: 7/10 (Does a decent job getting inside leverage with hands, but needs to learn how to do different stuff with then besides just getting ahold of tackles)
  • Pass Rushing Moves: 5/10 (Needs a lot of development here. Relies way too much on strength over technique)
  • Run Defense: 8/10 (Very good at setting the edge and making an impact in the running game. He excels at reaching around blocks)
  • Strength: 8/10 (Holds up very well at setting the edge with his strength and overpowering tackles)
  • Tackling: 9/10 (A pretty sound tackler who should wrap up most attempts and not let the person go)
  • Versatility: 6/10 (Should provide good value as a run defender and developing pass rusher. Do not expect him to do much coverage or off ball play)

Prospect Grade: 65/100; 65% (Starter Potential)

Projected Draft Day: 1 

Player Comparison: Sam Hubbard

Player Summary:Wilson possesses a ton of strength at the edge position. He should be an immediate factor in the run defender. However, he is extremely raw when it comes to pass rushing. He needs a lot of development and patience before he becomes a factor here. He is worth a gamble, but does carry a fair amount of risk.
