Expert Note
View More NotesPayton Wilson won the Chuck Bednarik Award in 2023, as college football's best defensive player. The linebacker from NC State recorded 92 tackles and missed fewer than 5 missed of his tackling attempts (4.7%). The 6-foot-4 and 233-pound linebacker also was great in coverage, generating a 47.2 passer rating when targeted (top-10) with three interceptions to boot.
Wilson's a Day 1 linebacker starter with his speed - 4.43 40-yard dash - and football instincts. He can also immediately contribute on special teams. Any draft day fall will be related to his medicals.
