Raheem Wilson didn’t have aspirations to play professional football—at least, not until his friends and coaches told him he could actually do it. It took the belief of those closest to him for the small school cornerback to buy into the idea he could actually make the leap to the NFL.
Judging by the interest from the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs thus far, perhaps they knew what they were talking about. Wilson had an eye-popping 18 interceptions in his career and led all of Division II last season with 24 passes defended. Wilson was named All-American by year’s end.
