Scouting Report: Strengths
- Showed initial quickness and good flexibility to dip and bend. Wilson has active hands and suddenness to his movements, demonstrating the ability to counter inside.
- He can be used as a rangy run defender inside, instinctive when it comes to locating the ball with the quickness to get to it before blockers can react at the second level.
- Flashes strength to punch or stiff-arm to get off blocks. Stays with plays downfield, often making tackles even after being hit by multiple linemen.
- Uses his low center of gravity to flash leverage and strong, violent hands to create space and shed to either side. Also spins off blocks to disengage.
- In coverage, Wilson shows excellent awareness and anticipation when dropping back into zone, and he has the fluidity and speed to run with most tight ends over the middle.
- Along with great instincts, he’s an explosive mover. Wilson can disrupt plays in the backfield due to his ability to read and react quickly.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Wilson is on the small side, and his frame is pretty much maxed out. Despite his effort and intensity, he’ll simply get swallowed up at times.
- Plays too high when trying to set the edge. His motor is inconsistent.
- While Wilson has the take-on skills to be a 4-3 Mike, he’s probably better as a Will so he can maximize his range and speed.
