Can Tyree Wilson live up to his first-round promise in 2025?

HENDERSON, Nev. -- Tyree Wilson is well aware of the stakes.

Through two seasons, the 25-year-old defensive end hasn't lived up to the expectations that came when he was drafted seventh in 2023. In 33 career games (four starts), Wilson has totaled eight sacks and 56 tackles. He has admitted to leaving a lot of plays on the field, such as missing tackles and sacks.

Entering Year 3, which he calls the biggest of his career, Wilson hopes for better results. He says he spent the offseason improving his footwork and cardio. And with two years under his belt, the former Texas Tech standout believes he is more advanced in his development.
