Kyle Wilson is a tough kid from New Jersey,who was not highly touted coming out of high school in Piscataway. The same can not be said coming out of college though. At Boise State Kyle put together a great college career leading his team to BCS bowl games. Standing at a solid 5-10 190 pounds he likes to play a physical brand of football, in run support he is like an Antoine Winfield in that manner, plays "without a seat belt". He can play in any defensive scheme. He is great in off-man technique and even better in press-man coverage. With tremendous feet and arguably the most instinctive corner, in a cornerback heavy draft.
Granted he played in a lower level of Division I football, it was important for him to go down to Mobile,AL and show out at the Senior Bowl. Which he did, he was without a doubt, the top cornerback their and he cemented himself as a first round caliber talent. His ball skills are top notch (11 career picks – 27 pass breakups) and his ability to read a quarterback and time his breaks on routes are NFL ready. His intangibles are top notch and the options he brings to the table as a solid return specialist will only increase draft value, possibly in to the top 20. With the NFL constantly looking for athletes that can fulfill multiple roles each week, Wilson is going to catch the eye of a lot of evaluators.

Good profile, I love that he put the time in the weightroom too, speaks to his level of commitment, you get an idea that football means a lot to him. I hope hes wearing purple soon.
ReplyDeleteAwesome stuff Major, he would make a perfect addition to our secondary. You gotta love the guys who can play physical and smart at the same time. Guys like that have a knack for coming up with a big play when the game is on the line.
