We all suspected this was coming, and now it’s a done deal. Wilson didn’t have anything to gain by returning for more college ball, and he’s now headed to the NFL.

It’s crazy that before the year started nobody really talked about Wilson as a major NFL prospect.

It’s now January, and there’s a very real chance that Wilson goes in the top 10. He’s going to make some serious money.

Hell, there are some people who think Wilson will go second overall behind Trevor Lawrence. There’s no doubt he’s about to be paid in a few months.
