JOJOTOWNSELL Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Kyle Wilson gets no burn on this board. I expect him to surprise a bunch of us with a solid leap forward this year After redshirting the 2005 season, Wilson played in 10 games and finished 10th on team with 41 tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss, five pass breakups, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and an interception. He started final five games at cornerback and delievered an impressive performance at the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, finishing with 10 tackles in Boise State's 43-42 upset win over Oklahoma. Wilson was named honorable mention Freshman All-America by Sporting News. As a sophomore, Wilson started all 13 games at cornerback, finishing the season with 41 tackles, eight pass breakups, two interceptions, two tackles for loss, one sack and a blocked kick. His season-high six tackles came against East Carolina in the 2008 Hawaii Bowl. Wilson earned second-team All-WAC honors. In his junior season, Wilson led Boise State with five interceptions, 10 pass breakups and 15 passes defended. He recorded 35 tackles, 26 of which were unassisted, and returned 33 punts for 470 yards and three touchdowns. Wilson started each game of the season, making his current streak of 31 consecutive starts the longest active streak on team. He was named first-team All-WAC cornerback and second-team all-conference punt returner. Also, The Sporting News named him to their 2008 All-American Second Team.[3] In 2009, Rivals.com listed him at No. 3 of their preseason cornerback power ranking.[4] In October, he was named a midseason All-American by The Sporting News,[5] and in early November he was named one of twelve semifinalists for the 2009 Jim Thorpe Award.[6] AND FOR A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUwj7JemkC4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SackDancer99 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Agreed- Athletic as can be, but its all between the ears- he needs to control his breathing, and he will be good to go (I hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he just turned it around faster he'd be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bLguerriero1 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 wilsons biggest enemy is between his ears. with some confidence, he can be productive agreed, he had a rough time in the beginning of the year but thats to be expected from a rookie, but then at the end of the year he was playin well in coverage, people just sh*t on him cuz they remember that ball that hit him in the face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serphnx Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I think by the end of the year he will start over Cromartie, making the Cro signing pointless since he won't tackle either. It's too bad Cro won't tackle, in terms of coverage he is far more like a safety than a CB imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drums Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Agreed. He will be better this year. He better be, because he plays with Revis and is going to get picked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOJOTOWNSELL Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 2 pretty nice games for the former first rounder......that time with Revis payed off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 He has looked good in a limited role. If this were his rookie year everybody would be ecstatic and calling for him to get a start after any completion against another CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 He's done nothing to complain about in two games. I'm thinking is that if the Jets didn't have confidence in Wilson they... wouldn't've traded Lowery wouldn't allow Cro to return kicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see how he covers the deep ball, tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a very good preseason, all it took was one bad game in the most meaningless game of the year for some to pull their pitchforks back out. He's had a great start to the season and it looks like this unit can be exactly what Rex envisioned when they nabbed Wilson in the draft last year.
