Wilson was pretty good with the Vikings. His strength is as a coverage LB/nickel LB/STs A role we have all hoped DOD would develop into. not as strong against the run. 6’1 230

Change of scenery might do him some good

2017 cincy pro day he ran 4.5 and just under a 40” vertical jump

What do we think is the reason for DOD not getting more snaps outside of ST? He really does seem more athletic than current options and no less stout than Niemann.

That’s the question many ask. He is only 215 ish so he needs to play will stacked behind a big DT but most suggest just using him in nickel and dime like when they stick neimann and sorenson in at lb and everyone cringes. I don’t see why he doesn’t get a shot in that spot and preferably pair him with gay or Bolton there. Or whoever but just give him a shot. They actually game planned him in a playoff game to spy Watson to keep him somewhat contained. Yet this year against philly and Buffalo and get killed with qb running designed running plays and they didn’t even try to stop the bleeding and give him a shot when he did have some success and a sack in that Houston game a couple years ago.

And the funny thing on special teams... the Titans game they elevated Darius Harris and rozeboom from the practice squad. Rozeboom made the most of his shot and got one tackle on a kickoff. DOD got his FIRST ST tackle of the season just the other night against the Giants. He has a grand total of one tackle half way through the season getting his first one.

Lots of head scratching regarding him and why they don’t find another LB and cut him if he can’t contribute on defense regardless of the reason
