2024 NFL Draft prospect profile: Payton Wilson, LB, NC State

It’s a strange feeling to be heading into the NFL Draft and know that the New York Giants don’t need a quarterback. The duo of Bobby Okereke and Micah McFadden turned into a very solid unit in 2023, giving the Giants their best linebacker play since the days of Antonio Pierce and Kawika Mitchell.
