Joel Wilson was a dependable receiving option for the Chippewas over the course of his career in the Maroon and Gold, and looks to make the Mitten State proud at the professional level after signing with the New Orleans Saints as a priority free agent.
The news was first reported by Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Wilson is set to earn $90,000 guaranteed for signing.
Wilson joined CMU as a position convert, moving from quarterback to tight end at the next level, and sat behind a litany of fellow athletes who all transitioned from other positions.
