This article unintentionally illustrates the Caste System in a nutshell, yet another underwear Adonis who sucks at football and who already looks like a huge bust:
The Raiders were thrilled when Texas Tech edge rusher Tyree Wilson fell to them with the seventh-overall pick in the draft, but through the first three games of his NFL career, Wilson has not lived up to the hype.
Everyone understood that Wilson was going to need to develop as a pass rusher, but no one expected him to make almost no impact out of the gate.
According to Pro Football Focus analytics, Wilson has rushed the quarterback on 55 plays this season and created only one pressure.
The only pass-rushing maneuver we’ve seen from Wilson has been a constant bull rush that, quite frankly, hasn’t been all that impressive.
Tyree Wilson has a 0.0% pass rush win rate through three games this season. That is the lowest of any rookie who’s played at least 25 pass rushing snaps. Many NFL scouts leading up to the NFL Draft criticized Wilson for his “lack” of moves and finesse when it came to pass rushing.
Wilson also has the same amount of missed tackles as tackles so far (1). It’s still early, but hopefully the Raiders 7th overall pick can figure it out
The fear among Raider fans is simple.
They don’t want Wilson to be the next Clelin Ferrell – who the Raiders drafted with the fourth-overall pick in 2019.
The “next Clelin Ferrell” might be a clever way of calling a player a busted draft pick, but there’s a chance that Wilson’s game is, in fact, not very different than the aforementioned Ferrell.
Both have incredible size and measurements, but don’t necessarily have the athleticism of the better edge rushers in the NFL.
Wilson may have it, but he hasn’t shown it yet.
Wilson didn’t participate in drills at the NFL combine because of a foot injury, but he did blow away everyone in attendance with his size and physique. A
MockDraftable diagram shows his impressive measurements compared to others in the NFL at his position…
And while Wilson’s measurements are practically off the charts, they actually compare similarly to Ferrell’s measurements.
Take a look at Ferrell’s numbers in 2019…
There are plenty of qualified analysts who have weighed in on Wilson’s abilities as a pass rusher, but it’s worth noting that Ferrell actually recorded 10 more sacks (27) in his collegiate career than Wilson (17).
Both played four seasons, but Ferrell played in nine more games than Wilson, who only played in 12 combined games as a freshman and sophomore.
Wilson has plenty of time to develop into a perfect bookend to Maxx Crosby, but for now he looks a lot more like Ferrell than Crosby… both literally and figuratively.
