Scouting Report: Strengths
  • He’s ready for the physicality of the NFL; Wilson has a stout build, strong core and powerful limbs to step in right away as a three-down player.
  • Elite arm length and large wingspan - Quick to use his length and engage blockers
  • He’s flexible enough to bend the edge, and he’s at his best when he can use his quickness and change-of-direction abilities to counter back inside.
  • Adequate change-of-direction agility and straight-line speed to contain.
  • Great strength in shedding offensive linemen with ease
  • Able to use momentum, size and speed to knock back linemen
  • Highly athletic to be able to chase down plays backside
  • Can get a great start at the snap and converts size and speed into power
  • Strong tackler, rarely misses tackles
  • As a pass rusher, he shows quickness off the line and has the fluid athleticism and flexibility to bend the edge.
  • High-effort, thickly built defender with good strength and the leverage to create a pile. Locates_ the ball quickly and pursues with passion, showing_ good lateral agility while extending the play to the sideline.
  • A savvy, versatile, and instinctive edge rusher who did a little bit of everything, he was especially effective getting to the quarterback.
  • Able to play as a 4-3 defensive end or 3-4 outside linebacker - classic edge
  • Explosive first step and long striding
  • Athletic mismatch against guards
  • Play strength to play through contact and has impressive strong handst
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • While Wilson was able to physically overpower opponents at the college, he will have to develop a wider repertoire of moves in the pros.
  • Not a natural bender and lacks fluid change-of-direction ability. Plays with inconsistent pad level and is often knocked backward off the snap.
  • Not explosive as a pass rusher or run defender. Lacks elite speed and flexibility to turn the corner and is late off the snap.
  • He lacks the quickness to consistently make impact plays rushing the quarterback
  • Does not consistently show the agility to move in tight spaces to get to the quarterback
  • Doesn't display the hand-eye coordination to use his hands effectively to shed blockers
  • Inability to effectively seal on run plays
Scouting Report: Summary
Wilson is one of the top edge prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft, possessing the physical attributes necessary to make an immediate impact. He has the arm length, frame, explosiveness, and power that make him a great pass rusher. He's consistently put up outstanding pressure numbers during his four years at Texas Tech.

He isn't the perfect prospect, however, and while a good overall athlete his speed isn't elite and so may struggle to get outside the best pro pass protectors. Expect Wilson to be selected in the second half of the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
