Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com has revealed his Top-50 2024 NFL Draft Prospects, and NC State Linebacker Payton Wilson ranks 47th. Here’s what Jeremiah had to say about Wilson:
Wilson is a height/weight/speed linebacker with excellent instincts and playmaking ability. He has the tools to play stacked in the box or as the hole defender in space. Against the pass, he is fluid in his zone drops. He relies on his eyes to jump routes and get his hands on the ball. He has the speed/agility to mirror backs and tight ends.
