STRENGTHS
Damien Wilson might be a smaller linebacker, but his exceptional length allows him to make plays many other "small" linebackers couldn't. He's a productive, very active player with a high tackle count in each of his two starting seasons and a nose for the ball. Wilson is agile enough to survive in coverage and off the ball, and he'll attack and run down the ball outside the hashes.
WEAKNESSES
Wilson doesn't do well with blockers in his face and can shy away from a power-run game at the second level. He'll get caught out of position and can take himself out of plays too often for a 4-3 inside linebacker. His vision is good, but his follow-through is not.

PRO COMPARISON: Nigel Bradham, Buffalo Bills
A solid athlete with good movement skills and football IQ but limited to a special teams role early, Wilson is a very similar prospect to Bradham.
FINAL GRADE: 5.10/9.00 (Quality Backup)
