Really glad you did this video of Dono. I’ve loved the guy since the Cowboys called him on draft day, telling him they were drafting him and him breaking down in tears on the phone. Been one of my favorites since then.

[@anselanokayan9978]

I’m right there with you, one of my favorites as well. Glad he was resigned

[@bennychapman3354]

Most memorable moment for sure. We have an super elite defensive backfield.

[@N-F-S6X]

Same!! Finally!! 💯🔥🙏

[@greg-km3nt]

Same here. Remember his first appearances with the star? I feel like we were all saying who is that?! We knew he wasn't gonna start that year but he deserved it. Under rated and under paid. Can't wait to see him get his due. Edit: didn't know he got a new contract. Didn't have to wait long to see him get his due lol. Can't wait to watch the defense this year.

[@terrenceliburd8655]

He had a good/ low-key COVID 19 season.

[@coganblaster]

Thanks man. Wilson has gotten better every year. DQ has him playing his best ball as a rover. Love his physicality- AJ Brown 😆

[@johntrail5171]

Yessssir I know he liked that one

[@FittedZack96]

AJ Brown did not say that🤣😭☠️🤡🤦

[@RickyFacts28]

Donovan Wilson Let's Gooooo!!!! He's been setting the tone since his pre season games rookie yr. When I went to Dallas vs Detroit I was the only one with his jersey on. That's going to change this year.

[@zeegee3647]

He had to have had the greatest pre season from a rookie ever😂

[@jurado6335]

Paying Dono and and not paying Dalton was one of the best decisions this frachise has made. Im glad that Defense has continuity with everyone returning.

[@214nellzy]

Crazy how Wilson hit harder then all our linebackers

[@ericglenn979]

That's why he's always hurt. Ask the Aggies.

[@demetrickwilliams2677]

Yea you said some Bs ain't no way he hit harder than Parsons or LVE or sam Williams

[@bigred9991]

It's about time someone gave Dono some love. He's been great since they started him 2 years ago against the Vikings. He was making plays all over the field that game and never let up since. Its a shame it took another year and 3 or 4 injuries before they put him back in as a starter.

[@DormammuSetesh]

Damn he made Aj Brown lay down 😂

[@reallybadaim118]

0:27 You know you have arrived to the pro level when Johnathan Hankins uses you to hoist himself up.

[@joelchavez61]

I always cheer for Cowboys draft picks. I learn about potential players so DW was one of those kids. I dont watch college ball but i saw he was a hard hitter. Tbis video shows that he has developed from a late rounder to an elite talent. I knew he was doing well and i was happy a draft pick paid off but this video shows a powerful player.

[@tapedeck41]

His processing ability is phenomenal

[@claytongodfrey202]

I already knew I loved this guy but this video seals the deal. 💯

[@malachiknight180]

Good film analysis of Dono. I agree, he earned his new Contract. The Guy is a Strong Safety Assassin!!!

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

Very underrated, as is Kearse. Wilson is exceptional as a pass rushing safety, and hes arguably pound for pound, the best tackler on the Cowboys. Id like a lil more ball hawking, but hes solid against the pass, and does a good job keeping receivers in front of him, very rarely do guys get behind him for big plays.

[@andrew348]

ball hawking for a strong safety? Do you need him to have 20 sack season before you are impressed? The man is a perfect STRONG safety

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

@@andrew348 Dude, can you read? Lol, in what I had written, WHERE does it say that im NOT impressed? Learn how to read before you respond with criticism.

[@cowboyschad5x778]

My Guy from AnM! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Love Hitman Wilson!!!

[@trillhomie8322]

Dono deserves his props he's been ballin the last 3 years. He's a pro bowl caliber player

[@railTaterman]

Great video glad to see him make it to this point , alot of people dont know this guy played receiver, safety, corner, and return punts and kicks in high school, track star helluva athelete at woodlawn high in Louisiana, i know because he played for my friends derwin and jerwin wilson , both excellent coaches ones at texas southern and the other at duncanville high they groomed him he also put in the work in a city where it's easy to let the streets ruin your life

[@samg4650]

Always thought he was our heavy hitter. He has a great game and mentality. Ps DLaw just be WORKING. Great job on the video

[@MrCurodd]

Reminds me of Bob Sanders. Guy takes on olineman with more physicality than a lot of linebackers. I think it’s wild be didn’t get at least a pro bowl last year. 5 sacks as a safety when D Law had 6.

[@robertroberts5283]

A dude said Bland would be a better safety than Wilson. I told him Wilson is a top safety. People don’t know what they are talking about.

[@cowboysnation808]

Bland is a cover corner 😂

[@thomasnealy2766]

So underrated this dude is a beast.2021 when he was injured we seen what it's like when he is in the game compared when he wasn't in games he's a big difference maker because his physicality he's a " BEAST "

[@reggiehart7932]

Great content! Dono is a beast! DC4L 👊🏽

[@Sheribahadur67]

I absolutely love Dono. I think he brings toughness to the D and they hype up when they see him play like a beast.

[@terrnado]

Well done. Dono is a beast!

[@peterhunt6480]

Great stuff. 👍

[@dannysavagedraftguru]

Def old School that don’t make SS like him anymore

[@TheFlutecart]

Dude is on the ball. Wilson gets the play. Cowboys can beat anybody if everybody shows up. It looks pretty good this year. But it also looks like setting up a dynastic string of wins with this Dallas Cowboys. Go Cowboys.

[@FittedZack96]

Your Offense is fnna be DOG SHIT this year.... No QB,No Oline,Injured RB,1 good WR, worse TE room in the league and worse play caller in the league

[@domesticatedape4378]

Wilson is a beast. Every play is 100% dudes got a motor

[@rikavalos]

Toughness and intelligence, reminds me of Darren Woodson. What a passionate and inspiring player! I think this defense is going to be great.

[@BombayMunkee]

Another banger.

[@tonyj.1333]

Dono is the type of player every good defense needs, he's sort Polamalu-ish as a box SS. Sidenote: watching LVE run from blocks or get blocked easily is irritating, especially when Dono is playing the right way.

[@user-ds8ec1ov6i]

Frfr our safeties are super cold the on point its really why our defense is cold af Wilson and Kearse

[@cmoe-dq5kb]

This was AWESOME! Thank you 🍻

[@easypeezy9434]

Somebody tag Donovan Wilson and give him his flowers!

[@FrankeeLee223]

Wow.... Let get the season started already..!

[@mojoschmee9320]

The key for a great strong safety to truly excel is having a capable partner in the free safety position. I think the Cowboys have that in Malik Hooker. Defense looking strong for 2023. Never know how these things are going to go, though...

I'm pretty sure James is a FS.

​@@bigred9991You def don't know Football🤦 James lines up in the Nickle more then he does FS🤦

[@bigred9991]

@FittedZack96 you are definitely an idiot, to assume someone doesn't know football because they don't watch the Chargers and isn't sure if a specific player lines up at SS or Fs is comical at best. But I wouldn't expect you to be able to come to that conclusion after reading your comment. Have a good day sir.

[@derd3]

Watching these plays makes me think all these DC's are closet geniuses... like, how? How can they scheme this up? Then, the players, like Donovan, identifying formations and getting through blocking schemes?? It's crazy dude... Wilson is a genius... like for real.

[@cowboysnation808]

Aj Brown will now be avoiding number 6 🤣 😂

[@eddiejones8540]

When Dono as a rookie came up and Drilled DCook in Min. and made Cook fumble....DCook has not been the same since and Donovan has turned into what Micah called him a Jaguar. A Jaguar will go in there and GET IT....Donovan does that. HE is a STUD. Said it his rookie year say it now best S drafted since DWoodson. MBell is gonna be the next S to step up watch!

[@Divine318.]

Trust me he definitely can defend the pass

[@derickmendez753]

Close but no cigar.... again lol.

[@michaelmichaelagnew8503]

Cowboys had one of the best defenses last season think they were number 2 to the 49'rs who were number 1. The offense really fell off the later half of the season but that should change. Once cowboys square up that run defense they will be number 1 in defense. That was their only weakness. Thinking cowboys should have the number 1 defense this year and their offense should be in the top 5 if not the top 3.

[@FittedZack96]

Bruhh wtf you talking about they weren't even the best Defense in the East🤣😭☠️🤦

[@jamarcarroll5393]

He should had been a all pro last year, he got snub like Jay roc did tha season before smh

[@tapedeck41]

The 6thumper!!!

[@Baldratt1]

He plays with killer instinct and loves to hit hard like a great safety should. I wish he could train Diggs to play more physical. Hell just watch Diggs in this video being a creampuff. As a diehard Cowboys fan I love Diggs for his ball hawking ability, but the man plays pathetically soft.

[@cmgonzalezsnsd]

I agree but Deion Sanders was the same way, avoiding tackles and Deion had a great career. Let’s hope DW has the same result. 💪

[@ethancrazyhorseharris6205]

i agree aswell, i’m hoping gilly helps him with his technique & he brings some more physicality. gilly will come down & play the run tre needs to step up wrap up he always shoulder tackles!

[@theshield8744]

Free Willy.

[@savagecombatives2765]

That is laughable. He is good enough to be a starter but it is laughable to suggest he is the best in the NFL or even All Pro/Pro Bowl level. Just because a player hits hard doesn't mean he is the best player at his position in the NFL.

[@cosmicbro1973]

Name 3 SS better than Donovan Wilson and I will easily prove you wrong. He might not be the best but he is top 3 no doubt. Just say you don’t watch the cowboys

[@savagecombatives2765]

@@cosmicbro1973You can't prove anything. He hits hard and that is the only good part of his game. I have watched every game in his career and watched the same film you do. The only reason you say what you said is that you have a 13 year old girl crush on him because there are no facts to back it up. The only thing you have is what you see and that is trash because it isn't at all objective.

@@savagecombatives2765 77 Solo Tackles and 5 sacks, and 2 picks for a SS is very good. He’s definitely a top 3 SS. Maybe No. 3 but thats still top 3. Unless you can name 3 better (which I already asked and you couldn’t) you have no argument

[@savagecombatives2765]

@@cosmicbro1973 Bullsh*t. You think he is a top 5 SS because you like him. His stats are irrelevant... he makes plays but he makes just as many mistakes and plays with poor technique way to often. He is a starting SS in the NFL but he isn't a star and will never be top 3 to top 5.
