Had high hopes for Tyree Wilson, adding him to a lineup with Crosby and Jones was looking like a nice edge rush.
With Jones gone we have still not asked for much out of Wilson, and he still seems to be behind the 8ball. Has improved getting off the line but his football IQ just does not seem to be there.
By this point I would expect to see raw talent with lack of feel for the pro game. But neither has presented him self. Recently read his scouting report out of college and it was fairly accurate, slow off the ball, disappears at times…
Not much has been mentioned of him in pressers, or any mention of him working hard by coaches or Crosby when they have been asked. All in all disappointed to see his transition in the pros so far.
Hope the guy is just acclimating to his injury but seems like he’s lacking work ethic.
It’s interesting because I remember all these analysts saying he was a “top 10” talent.
Yet, somehow, when he was drafted, all those same analysts then started saying it wasn’t a good pick.
Probably because of the injury, but I still guarantee that none of them would have taken Wilson over Carter.
If I remember correctly, it came out either during or closely after the draft, that his surgery/recovery hadn’t gone well, which had put a bunch of teams off. Of course the “smartest guys in the room” thought otherwise, and here we are.
