Last year we were amazed at how mature DE Deatrich Wise looked for a rookie. He carried himself and had the look of a player well beyond his 23 years. Now just 24 and beginning his second season, Wise is relentlessly pursuing his craft with a never-ending search to improve and become a better, all-around, more productive edge defender.
Wise had a decently productive season in 2017 for a rookie and notched five sacks. But there were many times, the rookie found himself on the bench because he wasn’t quite up to snuff on his complete game. The learning curve is steep for all rookies and he was no exception.
