Reid impressed with Ramik Wilson

[staylor26]

Ramik Wilson, the Chiefs' fourth-round selection out of Georgia in this year's NFL Draft, noticed the difference between college football and the pros almost immediately.

"Everybody's great," he said after the Chiefs' last rookie minicamp practice Monday afternoon. "Everybody's fast; everybody's strong."

Though Wilson comes from one of the country's premier college football teams and conferences in Georgia and the SEC, he quickly relinquished the idea that it could make competing in the NFL any easier. He realized that the professional realm is a whole different animal entirely, so his strategy was to place special focus on the details over the course of the past three days.

"All the little things are going to help you," he said. "That's why I have to study my playbook harder, know my plays, my adjustments and I have to make all the calls, so I have to be on point for everything."

Wilson, in many ways, has already been on point. He had one interception during live sessions on Sunday and collected two more on Monday.

"He's got strong hands and he's got a knack for making plays here," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said of Wilson. "He's done a nice job, a very nice job."

But even though Wilson acknowledged his very early success, he assured that he isn't close to being satisfied.

"I've made a couple good plays here and there, but I had a couple in error," he said. "It's never going to be perfect, but I just have to correct the little things and once that's taken care of, I can take my game to another level."

The coaching staff has already shared with Wilson what that may entail as he continues to work towards training camp.

"Understand the game a little bit more, know my personnel, what plays I can get out of this formation, little tendencies, O-Linemen stances, quarterback mannerisms, stuff like that."

It's a laundry list for a rookie who out of the gate has shown a lot of talent.

As he walked off the field Monday, his rookie camp experience behind him, he said that he wanted to show the Kansas City coaches that he is a "big-time player that can help make an impact on the defense."

Though there are many more practices to go before training camp, the former All-SEC linebacker is certainly off to a strong start.

[RunKC]

He led the SEC in tackles and had solid measurables. No reason why he can't start next to DJ at some point this season.

[RealSNR]

He's a flaming bag of turds. My least favorite pick of the draft by far

[Beef Supreme]

Reid, and every other coach in the history of coaches, all say good things about all the new rookies, sometimes even after they cut them. Hopefully this guy works out, but Reid praising him is no benchmark.

[Brock]

"Everybody's great," he said after the Chiefs' last rookie minicamp practice Monday afternoon. "Everybody's fast; everybody's strong."



This is wonderful news.

[kepp]

This is wonderful news.

And he hasn't even seen Fisher's new physique yet.

[Brock]

I didn't realize everybody was great, fast, and strong. This changes things.

[DaneMcCloud]

There are more players from Georgia (5) than any other university on the roster and six, if you include Albert Wilson, from Georgia State, from Georgia universities/colleges.

Dorsey loves him some Georgia.

[eDave]

Sounds like he has the brains, attitude and skill to succeed.

[Hoover]

So he is competing against other draftees and undrafted free agents but he can tell that the speed of the game is different?

On AA they had him as the worst pick.

[Frosty]

So, were the three picks good LB play or dreadful QB play? :hmmm:

[ChiefGator]

So, were the three picks good LB play or dreadful QB play? :hmmm:

Probably some of both. But I will take that over the football bouncing off his hands a couple times.

[RealSNR]

Drafting 101 is to never reach for position need in the middle rounds. ALWAYS just take the best available option.

Watching Wilson play at Georgia just immediately sends me back to nightmares of Donnie Edwards.

The Raiders will probably drag this guy around the field with whatever Napoleon Kauffman RB they trot out this year.

He's a Donnie Edwards type of player, for sure. I think I made that comparison right after we drafted him.

For where he was drafted, it was a damn good pick IMO.

[ChiefGator]

Well, Donnie was a good coverage linebacker.. And Wilson is a coverage liability according to pre-draft reports ... So a little different there.

Hopefully he can learn a little bit of coverage though.

[RealSNR]

I hope he learns how to wrap up better than he does. In all of his highlight reels you can watch on youtube, it takes him like 20 seconds to drag down the ballcarrier, and he always seems to be out of position when he grabs on.

[Hootie]

Lmao ... if Ramik is Donnie Edwards in the 4th round that's one hell of a pick ... nightmares? Lmao

[DaneMcCloud]

So he's a young Josh Mauga?

:D

[RealSNR]

Lmao ... if Ramik is Donnie Edwards in the 4th round that's one hell of a pick ... nightmares? Lmao

You clearly don't remember how much Donnie Edwards sucked in stopping the run.

He made Josh Mauga look like Dick fucking Butkus.

[Hydrae]

Well, Donnie was a good coverage linebacker.. And Wilson is a coverage liability according to pre-draft reports ... So a little different there.

Hmmm, coverage issues and has 3 INTs during rookie camp. :shrug:

[DaneMcCloud]

You clearly don't remember how much Donnie Edwards sucked in stopping the run.

Donnie's issue wasn't ability but that he was small for a linebacker. He usually played around 225, which is just too light for a 3 down 'backer.

He'd be a great weapon on passing downs in today's game.

[DaneMcCloud]

Hmmm, coverage issues and has 3 INTs during rookie camp. :shrug:

That could be indicative of the QB's more so than the player

[thabear04]

Depends what Donnie Edwards we get 1996-2001 or 2007.

[In58men]

You guys eat this shit up every fucking time.

[BigChiefFan]

In the past two seasons, Wilson has 25 starts, 243 tackles, 6 sacks, 18 tackles for loss, averaging 9.72 tackles per game. I'd say that's a Hell of a 4th round pick. They guy has a nose for the ball and has a chance to make an impact. I'm hopeful he puts it all together and becomes a starter for us.

Donnie was a damn good LB for the Chiefs. I am pretty sure that it was Tyrone Wheatley that did the dragging. Oh my god one play.
Meanwhile Donnie Edwards was a 20 sack, 20 interception LB. There only have been 10 of those guys ever play the game. Pro Bowl and All Pro player as well.
All of that great play from a 4th round, 98th overall, LB drafted by the Chiefs. Yeah he ****ing sucked. Your ridiculousness on somethings is simply ridiculous.

[notorious]

Not impressed.

[jspchief]

Based on what I saw in his highlight reel, he looks like the type of guy that will rarely give up huge plays, but teams will get 5 yards on nearly every time. Smart enough to not make a critical error, but not explosive enough to be disruptive. My guess is he turns out to be a blue collar type starter at best (maybe Demorrio Williams), floor being special teamer, ceiling being maybe Donnie Edwards.

Granted this is all from a highlight reel, so it's probably ridiculous for me to even speculate.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

This is a fresh and exciting new take, I've never read anything like it before in my life.

Pulitzer's for everyone!

[ChiefGator]

Hmmm, coverage issues and has 3 INTs during rookie camp. :shrug:

Exactly. That is why I read that news as particularly good. It indicates maybe he isn't such a liability.

Of course, we know NOTHING about the situation. The greatest concern (pre-draft) with him besides his dragging tackles was his (likely) inability to turn and shadow tight ends in the NFL. We really don't know if he was actually doing that, or just sitting down and making a play on the ball.

Anyway, as I said, better that he is catching them then dropping them.

And Donnie Edwards is much maligned on this board, as are blue-collar players. If he is a blue-collar player, 8 year starter, than that is a most excellent pick.

[Hydrae]

That could be indicative of the QB's more so than the player

I would put more weight to that argument if we were hearing about all the other interceptions from LBers this last weekend. (I have not kept up with the details, this may have been happening)

[milkman]

Donnie Edwards athletic and fast, and had a nose for the ball.

But the fact is that he was a guy that would latch on to ball carriers, get dragged, and hold on until help arrived.

[Hootie]

I swear to God if our 4th round pick ends up like Donnie Edwards and only has a successful 12 year career I'll be pissed. That would be a nightmare. Anything less than Jared Allen in the 4th round is a bust.

I know he was undersized and he got dragged a few times but the few are over emphasized on here and has been for years. The guy ended up with over 1,000 tackles on his career. Averaging more than 150 a year over a 5 year span.

[ChiefGator]

If he led the SEC in tackles ,that right their tells you something. That's what you need at LB.

If Wilson tackles like Donnie Edwards, we're fucked.

Judging by how the Chiefs reached on him after all the other ILBs got taken, we're kind of counting on him for something more than just special teams.

And ironically enough, Jared Allen was drafted to play special teams, basically.

Wilson was not.

[Chief Roundup]

I said he couldn't stop the run, dickbrain.

What's ridiculous about that?

Your whole post was about how horrible he would be because you were comparing him to Donnie Edwards. You are one of the posters that has always bagged on Donnie even though he was one of the better LBs in the league at that time.
Nightmares and talking about him being drug around. Because playing the run was his first job....Oh wait no it wasn't. He was suppose to play the pass first.

Well is it the run or is it that he couldn't tackle???????
Drafting Wilson in the 4th, 118 overall, was not a reach.
A guy that averages over 150 tackles a season for 5 or 6 years, yeah damn that would suck.
Yet you wonder why I used the word ridiculous. SMH

What?

Wait.....
What?

Donnie was always stuck on the TE unless he didn't go out into a route.

[Hootie]

Anybody drafted in the 4th round isn't a reach and should have little expectation. If he sucks, he sucks. If he turns into a serviceable player, jackpot. Some day this website will understand ...

[milkman]

Donnie was always stuck on the TE unless he didn't go out into a route.

So, since his primary responsibility was coverage, it excuses piss poor tackling?

I shit on Donnie Edwards because he's over rated by dumbass homers around here, and because he was a sorry tackler.

The fact is that he was a good player.

If Ramik Wilson played to that level, then that pick is a hit, as was Edwards.

[KChiefs1]

SEC talent.

Morons around here get so goddamn fixated on player comparisons. Nobody can compare players without people thinking that comparisons = equations.

I only ever said that by looking at Wilson's college highlights on youtube, he tackles like a fucking pussy, and that I have nightmares of Edwards getting dragged around by some chump RB of the Raiders (somebody pointed out it was Tyrone Wheatley, not Napoleon Kauffman).

Now retards and assholes like you and Hootie are saying Wilson = Edwards and that's bad.

"BUT HE'S A 4TH ROUND PICK HE'S NOT A BUST IF HE PLAYS AS WELL AS EDWARDS LOL"

No. That's not what I fucking said. Go away.

Exactly right.

You want to hit on some of these, obviously, but every hit in the 4th round and beyond is reason for celebration.

[BossChief]

The guy ran a 4.62 at his proday and will be learning from one of the best in the league at how to improve on his weaknesses of not taking on and shedding blockers, being aggressive enough to make plays at and behind the line as well as getting better drops in coverage.

I don't think he will play next to DJ, instead will be groomed as his replacement.

That's totally fair ... and I agree

[Mav]

So he is competing against other draftees and undrafted free agents but he can tell that the speed of the game is different?


When I first got to college, I heard how much faster the college game was. And I was pretty fast myself. 4.53 40, 51.3 400 meters.

I got to college, and everyone was faster, stronger, bigger. I can only imagine what the jump is like for pro's.

[Brock]

That's wrong. When he was demanding more money from the Chargers an article came out in San Diego that pointed out that 25 percent of his tackles came on gains of 6 or more yards. It isn't just people's imaginations that he rode running backs. The guy was a good player, but to make out like he was a great tackler is nonsense.

Lollllll

[BossChief]

Yeah.

Not many high schoolers run a 4.53 unless their coach was trying to instill confidence in them.

Hand timed 40s aren't exactly reliable.

[TimBone]

Another CP athlete. Who'da thunk it?

[Hootie]

I tend to believe that 40% of CP is faster than Larry Johnson, who ran a 4.55 40

[BossChief]

I played against Ronney Jenkins in HS and he was all state track and broke the national rushing yards in a game with like 650 or something crazy (after we held him to about 200 a couple games prior and I was a team captain for the game where I couldn't even touch him multiple times) and he went to BYU and was a pro bowl returner in the NFL.

He ran a 4.5 flat 40.

[RunKC]

In a league filled with sub 4.4 or better athletes, a 4.55 is pretty damn slow in this league.
LJ was a bruiser tho so it didn't really matter that much.

[Hootie]

LJ was never a bruiser ... he was always a 2nd level guy ... once he got to the 2nd level, he was great

and he wasn't a speed back by any means but he played faster than his "timed speed" and he was certainly a fast back

and the league is not filled with 4.4 or better athletes ... 4.4 is still elite speed in the NFL

[TimBone]

I tend to believe that 40% of CP is faster than Larry Johnson, who ran a 4.55 40
Just 40%? I think it's got to be closer to 65% or 70%. It would be closer to 80% if some of the guys weren't hindered by their 13 inch dicks.

[Hootie]

if CP has 5000 members I can say that there is probably around 1.5 members on this board, TOPS, that ever broke a 4.5 40 legitimately

[BossChief]

I wouldn't go that far.

[Mav]

Yeah.

Not many high schoolers run a 4.53 unless their coach was trying to instill confidence in them.

That part may be true. However, my 400 time was not hand timed.

But I was always one of the fastest kids in high school, and college.

[Hootie]

I wouldn't go that far.

you're right

probably more like 0.5

there MIGHT be 1, but doubtful

[Mav]

I wouldn't go that far.


Hootie would. Because everyone is a lazy lard ass according to him. That's why I wasn't shocked he was the one to quote my post.

[Hootie]

lazy lard ass?

4.5 is elite speed ... it's big time, big conference college scholarship speed

it's rare speed

just cuz your high school football coach timed you at 4.2 doesn't mean you run a 4.2 ... I promise

[BossChief]

That part may be true. However, my 400 time was not hand timed.

How was your 40 yard dash timed?

[BossChief]

My high school coach "clocked me" at 4.7 one time.

I laughed because there was no way possible it was true. I ran a 4.9 and if the wind was at my back I might break into the 4.8s.

Sorry Mav, but I highly doubt you ever ran a legit 4.53 40 yard dash.

It was hand timed . And this was back in 1997. So the validity of it is questionable I can agree with that. But so I think my coaches said I ran a 4.53 when I actually ran a 4.7? No.

[Hootie]

our coaches timed several guys at 4.2 and 4.3

Everyone thought ronney Jenkins ran a 4.3...cause the kid was unreal fast and I played ball in the CIF (our division produced boatloads of nfl talent)...then he ran an electronic 4.5 flat

Guys with 4.4 and 4.3 speed (even 4.5 speed) have incredible wheels and would get scholarships based on speed alone.

Also remind you this is in Alaska. There's very little exposure. The most successful NFL to come out of there was Darryn Colledge and Mark Schlereth and they found Colledge on accident. When you play a 8 game schedule and you play there tell me how he's suppose to get on a D1 school

[jonzie04]

You're sorely mistaken if you think most decent high school sprinters can run legitimately near a 4.5 40.

a decent hs sprinter can run at least 10.90. And a 10.90 guy can absolutely run at least a 4.59

There is absolutely nothing impressive about a 4.5 40... The impressive part is that these guys do it at 240+ lbs.

[Beef Supreme]

Hell, even when my coach let me cheat the start line by a half a step I could only get a 4.9. I was small, but I was slow.

[notorious]

If a person has 4.23 speed they would get a full-ride scholarship and any university in the United States.

We had a guy run a "4.28". Hilarious. He flamed out at Texas A&M pretty fast

In college we had a white guy named Stan Zwinggi who claimed he ran at 4.18 at a football camp. Yet somehow he never managed to pick up a big d1 offer. At his pro day he ran a 4.5.

Yeah.

I had a college coach clock me at 4.5, when in reality it was probably (definitely) a 5.0 or at best a 4.8

I think it's an overrated metric anyways for certain positions; how often is a mlb going to run 40 yds straight line? I'm getting off topic but I agree with your post

Wow Kansas might be the slowest state in the country. There are thousands of kids in the country that can run 10.9s. Feel free to check out dyestat.com. There are over 100 kids that run between 10.90 and 10.92.

You couldn't even walk on to mizzous track team running a 10.9 a school that doesn't even focus on sprints. I consider that decent.

You said 10.9 or better. There are over 30 listed on the same website I posted at 10.9 or better hand timed. Could be a whole bunch more from 10.9 - 11.0... hand timed. Only 14 by the FAT system. I expect that number to improve the next two weeks, as regionals and state take place.

I just went to the Missouri high school activities association web site. Last year at Missouri's state track meet, they had 7 guys run under 11.0. Seven.

Kansas had six under 11.0 at state last year.

so let's see

how many kids are in high school in Kansas?

how many CP members do we have?

extrapolate

yep

I'd say there is less than 0.5 people on this board that have ever ran a 4.5 40

I've liked this pick since they selected him...I think he's that lower round draft-pick that becomes a stalwart...due to ambition, work-ethic, and coaching him up. Guess we will see.
