WOW!!! 6'4" and listed at 238 Lbs and has 4.43 speed????? Place him in the middle along with Patrick Queen and with Highsmith and TJ on the edge...look out NFL QB's in 2024 when you play the Steelers!!!!!

And if there’s an injury we have backups that many have started, even Herbig has played plenty

I love watching the "oh shit" moments from the players when Wilson comes for them lol. Welcome to Pittsburgh LET'S GO!!!

His pursuit angles are great. First thing I noticed watching these clips. He also seems to have excellent balance and quick feet

Man he just doesnt give up! He truly is relentless! Im so excited to see Wilson playing for us!

I remember Troy Palamalu, coming from out of the camera frame to tackle a WR from ten miles away. This has a similar vibe, as it seems like the guys he's tackling are gong in slow motion while he's coming from another country. It's uncanny.

I remember when I first seen this clip. I didn't know who it was and I thought it was absolutely INSANE. Then I found out we drafted this guy! 🤯

I’ve heard that there’s one play where he was clocked at 23.7 mph while chasing down and tackles the receiver. 😮 Super speed burst 💥!

@Shawn_313 2 ай бұрын

I saw a play where it was 23.4 on the GPS, That's insane top end speed. I don't know of any current receiver who has been clocked that fast. Not that there isn't, Just I haven't heard of it.

this man is a straight DAWG. Hoping he can stay healthy

@keithmuir1137 2 ай бұрын

That boy can move!! Hope he can handle the bigger backs and receivers in the NFL. He will definitely be able to catch them. With his knee history, you'd think he would wear kneepads! If he can cover well, he could play nickel or anywhere in the defensive backfield. He will be a stud if he stays healthy. Thanks again Alex!!

If this man stays healthy we will have the best LB corps of this decade I daresay

It could be just me, but out of all the guys we drafted in 2024, this is the guy I'll be looking for the most. I hope he proves me right and gets on the field often.

The Steelers drafted a very good football player who is plug and play. Congrats from a suffering Broncs fan.

I remember thinking his 4.43 speed at the combine was a bad day for him. And this video shows it. This is unreal speed. Give him another forty try, he's easily in the 4.3's.

@ericmaclaurin8525 2 ай бұрын

His RAS speed numbers are basically the same as Shazier. Maybe a little better depending on which metric you prefer.

@windog551 2 ай бұрын

I like your in depth. I knew we drafted him but I love it when you drop about a certain player I don't know about yet. Keep it up.

Great breakdown Alex I so wanted this guy .absolutely a stud! Exactly what Steelers need. like Herbig last year just something different on tape then everyone else!

@Mcdamn1026 2 ай бұрын

Stud! This dude is dangerous ! If he can sharpen his skills up and his body can hold up the SKYS THE LIMIT!! Maybe defensive Rookie of the year

I'm going to speak into his life he will become a starter and will give TJ a run for his money 💯💪🏾😊🖤💛

Love the breakdown, Alex. I love the player more!

@steelersfan07able Ай бұрын

Came back to watch this one again. I don't think it's a question of IF Payton Wilson will eventually be a force on our defense, but a question of WHEN. Will he get on the field right away or will he be held back a bit at first? It's hard to know at this point, but keep your eye on this player. That's all I'm saying.

The Steelers have fielded many high-quality inside backers. If Wilson is able to get up to speed, the pairing this season has the makings of the Kirkland & Chad Brown athleticism!!

@pathutchison7688 2 ай бұрын

Even if he does turn out to be a one contract guy, it’ll be nice to an LB whose speed translates to the field. Haven’t seen that since shazier.

Looks like he has good tackling technique as well!

@Alex_Kozora 2 ай бұрын

A little tall/high because he is high but he packs a punch.

@ryanc21smith 2 ай бұрын

@Alex_Kozora at least on the plays you highlighted, I saw him wrap up the legs. These are basic tackling skills I rarely see in the NFL anymore.

@frankfischer1281 2 ай бұрын

Payton Wilson is emanating a Jack Lambert vibe.

@Alex_Kozora 2 ай бұрын

Ha, that's probably a little strong but he's tall like Lambert.

@EktoplazmMusic 2 ай бұрын

Like a cat on a laser pointer.

@udoingthemost 2 ай бұрын

He’s a faster Kyle Hamilton. Not a bad idea to play him at SS in some sub packages.

@markv5855 2 ай бұрын

Alex, do you think he wins a starting ILB spot over Holcomb or Roberts?

@Alex_Kozora 2 ай бұрын

Holcomb still recovering from his knee surgery. He probably won't be in the mix out of the gate. I expect Queen and Roberts to start the year. Maybe Wilson plays in some nickel packages. Just going to have to gauge things in camp.
