There are always polarizing players in the NFL draft. The reasons can be numerous: off-field behaviors, lack of production, or medical issues. For NC State LB Payton Wilson, his medical issues drove him down the board. Daniel Jeremiah talked about him as a first-round talent if his medicals were clean. Instead, he fell to the Steelers in the third round.
Brian Baldinger does not care about the medicals. He did a short film breakdown on Wilson on X/Twitter Saturday afternoon, and he gushed about the linebacker.
“He’s the best linebacker in this draft,” Baldinger said.
