Latest Fantasy Rumors
Sneaky DROY candidate in '24
LBPittsburgh Steelers
July 14, 2024
Bucky Brooks of NFL.com suggests Wilson could snag Defensive Rookie of the Year honors as a longshot candidate this coming season.
ANALYSIS
The rookie third-round pick out of North Carolina State enjoyed an injury-riddled but productive college career that saw him record 402 tackles, including 48 total tackles for loss, seven interceptions, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble. A checkered medical history led to Wilson's slight drop in draft stock, but he arrives in the NFL with blinding 4.4 speed that Brooks feels will enable him to make plays from sideline to sideline with regularity.
