Current and former NFL players have helped shape Wilson as a player, according to Luke Thompson of The Shreveport Times. That included visits with current Green Bay Packers cornerback/safety Tramon Williams and watching film of former Chicago Bears cornerback Charles Tillman.
In fact, Williams is one of Wilson’s two favorite players of all time. The other: former Eagles safety Brian Dawkins.
“Brian Dawkins is someone I watched as a little kid, and he played for my favorite team,” he told LA Football Magazine in 2013. “Tramon Williams is a great player. I met and worked out with him over the last spring break and was impressed with his hard work ethic.”
