Steelers gotta get this guy. Fast sideline to sideline LB could use us some good

[@perryellis1423]

We got him😂😂😂

[@fabricelange2348]

He would be a wonderful add for the Packers💚💛 Edgerin Cooper and this guy are by far the best ILB of the future draft. Perfect fit, both, with Quay Walker

[@chaplandtime13]

A born Steeler!!

[@perryellis1423]

He is now😂😂😂

[@NCSUPackfan]

Whoever drafts this guy is getting the steal of the draft, crazy that’s he’s projected mid 2nd to mid 3rd

[@tdog5878]

I’ve read it’s because of injury concerns.

[@NCSUPackfan]

@@tdog5878 I’m aware of why, I just think the value he has to an already contending team that needs a mature OLB is much more worth it

[@SPIIIVA]

Im so glad we got him in Pittsburgh. So baffling he was there in the late 3rd.. lol ill take it dude is a stud!

[@chucklander5475]

Payton Wilson is an animal.

[@Dusty-ed5io]

Yeah he's going to be really good in Pittsburgh.

bruh spelled commanders wrong. lol

[@JohnVander70]

Seahawk actually.

[@THEAQUA3STYLE]

Watching him at the combine and god I’d love him in the 2nd

[@phillipa.giandiletti3759]

Steelers written all over him!

[@perryellis1423]

Yes sir!!!

[@blazecavasos7777]

Raiders met with this guy at the combine hoping they pick him up he’d be a great addition to that defense

[@kndtony1252]

Quite a few Wilson’s on the team now 😂😂 We’ve got; A Wilson throwing touchdowns A Wilson catching touchdowns & A Wilson stopping touchdowns

[@JohnRozo-f4n]

By the time this guy lights up the combine he’s gonna climb to mid 1st round . Prob all of 6’3.5” 235lb running 4.48 added on to this film ! Top 15 pick blend of luke kuechly when stacked with the closing burst of Micah parsons on the pass rush

[@EaglesXsandOs]

Kuechly is the smartest LB of all-time...

[@NCSUPackfan]

Best linebacker in college football

[@arellano1013]

He has first round talent for sure

[@revenant-xix]

Injury history might keep him out of the first but he can ball

[@steelermike5219]

Future steeler! Him in the middle with TJ and Highsmith on the outside would be dangerous!

[@Dusty-ed5io]

Thats what I said i can see him, and Eichenburgh getting picked mid rounds back to back

I'm loving my Steelers fans we know football!!!!

Dude real. 💪🏿💯

[@brandonhounshell7132]

Commanders. He’s gonna fall into the 4th , you trade up to get this guy. A leader

[@NCSUPackfan]

He’s not gonna fall to the fourth lol

[@QuiteIntoResting]

Call me crazy but he reminds me Luke Kuechly

[@perryellis1423]

Yes I see that , he might be taller also

[@QuiteIntoResting]

@@perryellis1423 he is and faster but luke had some of the best instincts as a LB ever

[@perryellis1423]

@@QuiteIntoResting hey let's hope he is like 2.0 and a hall of fame career for the Steelers, lined up inside of TJ Watt 😮 yes!!! 😁

[@blackitachi6935]

People in the comments a lot higher on him than I am.

[@matthewmatt5285]

Same,.I have him 3rd rd but he's a whale of a Zone defending LB~

This dude would be a big time chess piece on defense for Mike Macdonald in Seattle 💯

He's gotta lose that habit of leaning in over the tackled player - that will be called in the NFL.

[@bankhead832]

texans plz

[@StarSeedLumbee222]

i think he has a high football IQ has a nose for the ball but i just dont see him playing inside i think he could do damage outside or ss/fs.. but once he gets in the gym and gains some weight i think it could change. but comminn from someone who played MLB in highschool i dont understand how i didnt go D1 lmao 🤣🤣

[@keitronadams9921]

Guy popped up on my recommended I'm no scout but guy plays hard, he's decisive, he's a clean tackler(won't warrant penalties), he makes sure to get around the ball, and he seems to have discipline. I hope my cardinals get this guy

[@takeovaLA]

Hope my commanders can get him in maybe the 3rd round

Reminds me of a young Jack Lambert

[@dansnyder9102]

Absolutley stoked that kid landed in Pittsburgh. The next Jack Lambert!!

[@weedasaurusrex]

Overrated. Notice that the vast majority of the HLs are against bad teams. Dude disappears against the run and isn't the best pass rusher. If he can't finish his tackles in college, he'll struggle in the NFL. He's got tremendous speed but OL were absolutely bullying him on the edge and at the 2nd level.

[@robe2504]

Pace and Payton would look good for the Vikes...

[@philmickful]

Late 3rd round special teams maybe starter down the road

[@abouttogetexclusive9367]

Nailed it on the money to my Steelers but in fact he might be 3rd rotational right away and then take over for Cole/Roberts down the road later this season to form an elite duo with Patrick Queen.
