What Linebacker Payton Wilson is doing in his Rookie season isn’t shocking to NC State fans.
We know he was a Unanimous 1st Team All-American. We know he won the Butkus Award, Bednarik Award and the ACC Defensive Player of the Year Award.
We know that every team not named the Pittsburgh Steelers is kicking themselves, after failing to draft Wilson. It was criminal that the first round talent was taken in the 3rd round with the 98th overall pick.
Currently, Wilson has the 7th best PFF grade by a Linebacker with 350+ snaps. His 7% Missed Tackle Rate ranks 7th in the NFL.
