The hype surrounding the third-round pick of former North Carolina State linebacker Payton Wilson at No. 98 overall for the Pittsburgh Steelers continues to build.
Considered one of the “freakiest” and best linebackers in the 2024 NFL Draft class, Wilson only fell to the third round due to medical concerns. But on the field, on tape, he had the look of a first-round player.
Nobody knows that better than North Carolina State defensive coordinator Tony Gibson.
Gibson, who coached Wilson for the last four seasons, appeared on the 93.7 The Fan Morning Show with co-hosts Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson and spoke highly of his former linebacker.
