  • A few years ago, Payton was just a small town prospect who had no shot of making it to the NFL. 4 injuries and 6 years later though, Wilson became a superstar linebacker for NC State and despite falling to the 3rd round, the Steelers got a steal. Today, we are going to talk about the impossible rise of Payton Wilson and how all this happened, enjoy!

    I operate a CZcams channel talking steelers and I have been saying since before the draft that if Wilson fell to the 2nd or 3rd or maybe beyond he would be the biggest steal of the NFL draft. He has the athletic ability to be super dominant in today’s style of defense in the NFL. The range he has is insane and his strength and willingness to be ultra aggressive is unmatched by any linebacker in this rookie class. Also his injures have not been an issue for several years and I think that maybe he will have a handful of really highly productive years in the NFL.

    @flydawg7784 Před 6 dny +1

    Interesting prospect. I had to look up his height/weight because he looked a little thin for LB. 230 is ok but at 6-4 it looks a little lean. He must be a hell of player and must have been fun to watch. Those guys that only have one speed (full) are fun to watch. I never got watched an NC State game, would’ve been fun to see.

  • @FightrForLife
    @FightrForLife Před 6 dny

    As a Saints fan, I was really hoping they'd trade up into the 3rd to pick him up when he made it out of the 2nd round... Sure, they've got Pete Werner, but at some point Demario Davis won't be immortal anymore, and having a 1st-round level talent learning as Davis' heir apparent would have been great. Even if he somehow couldn't beat out Pete Werner to succeed Davis, the 2 of them would have been a force together.

You assumed that high school football highlights weren’t filmed by somebody, and that he can legally use that film to make money off of. Not the case, unless he had explicit consent to do so. Either way, again, I’m not a Steelers fan, this video is silly, and I wish nothing but good things for this dude and Steelers fans.
