Andrew Wilson Hits Like A Hammer

[DKphin]

Like father like son.

As he usually did during his four seasons at the University of Missouri, Andrew Wilson made things happen during the Tigers’ 2014 Cotton Bowl Classic appearance against Oklahoma State.

Wilson finished with 15 tackles that day, which was impressive but not unheard of for the linebacker who led his team in tackles each of the past three seasons.

But there was one tackle that stood out, even though it had little bearing on Missouri ending up with a 41-31 victory. It occurred early in the third quarter when Wilson teamed with freshman defensive tackle Josh Augusta to stop OSU running back Desmond Roland after a 1-yard gain.

The tackle was Wilson’s seventh of the game and the 324th of his career at Missouri. With the tackle, Wilson moved into sole possession of 11th place on the school’s all-time list.

One of the two players with whom he briefly shared 12th place was defensive back Erik McMillian, who went on to a six-year NFL career, mostly with the New York Jets.

The other was a linebacker who played in the early 1980s and was the school’s all-time leader when he left after the 1983 season. That player was Jay Wilson.

Yep, Andrew Wilson’s father.

“He’s always been very physical, a very explosive hitter,” Missouri Head Coach Gary Pinkel told the Kansas City Star last fall. “And when he hits you, he just strikes you. That’s what we’ve known him for.”

Wilson beat out for the award some high-profile competition, namely 2014 second-round pick Kony Ealy and Michael Sam, the SEC co-Defensive Player of the Year.

This is one of the sleeper UDFA's I'm really rooting for. He has good instincts. I just hope he isn't too exposed in coverage. We could use a thumper inside.

you'd think it wouldn't be too hard to find an upgrade over Jason Trusnik

Yet, despite all these accomplishments and just like Longhorn DE Jackson Jeffcoat Big12 Defensive Player of The Year, First Team All Big 12, Consensus All American and recipient of the Ted Hendricks Award(top DE in college football), who signed with Seattle, Andrew Wilson went undrafted. Go figure :idk:

That's right. No ceremoniously worthless 7th round pick; no internationally-televised sloppy kisses nor mutual smearing of "Better Than Sex" cake on each other's faces.
How can this be? Did these guys not deserve to be drafted, let alone drafted earlier than the 7th round if not for some personal circumstance?

Where have you gone Mrs Robinson...A nation turns its lonely eyes to you..(woo woo woo)??

This year had a record number of underclassmen leave school for the draft. All were potential draftees or had been told so However the draft did not add extra rounds which means more talent undrafted. There were still only x amount of picks. Just my theory ..

I just want a baby Zach Thomas out of this draft. Is that so hard to ask for god? Just one baby Zach... and maybe a baby JT with more loyalty.

I definitely agree.

In particular, the WR and CB positions were really overflowing with talent and some of these UDFA's will go on to have impressive careers. Likewise, there will be some OL cuts scooped up by other teams that surprise as well.

I'd love to pick up a James Hurst or Wesley Johnson if they don't make the rosters of Baltimore and Pittsburgh respectively. At WR it seems unlikely that all 3 of the Packer draftees make their roster and I'd be very interested in grabbing their 7th rounder Janis. The WR's and CB's overlooked will make us all look back and laugh years from now IMHO.

Don't you dare knock JT. He didn't leaving voluntarily. That stinking waste named Bill Parcells drove him away. Decided to get into a pissing match with the Defensive Player of the Year to establish his so called authority. What a waste. Of all the thing Huizenga screwed up, this move was the worst. Resulted in six years of Jeff Ireland. What a waste. An absolute freaking waste.

Left us after 1-15 then came crawling back after we went 11-5 only to leave yet again for the Jests.

And don't forget about this BS during training camp. :limp:
