Cedrick Wilson 2018 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Some prospects’ path to the NFL Draft involves them following in the footsteps of family members who played in the NFL. That’s definitely the case with Cedrick Wilson<\/a><\/strong>. His father of the same name was drafted in the sixth round of the 2001 draft by the San Francisco 49ers<\/a>. He spent his first four seasons in the league with San Fran before moving to the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> and caught one pass for 20 yards in the team’s Super Bowl XL win.<\/p>\n

The younger Wilson actually played quarterback in high school, leading his team to the Tennessee 6A state semifinals as a senior. But the Memphis, TN native transitioned to wide receiver afterward, using two seasons at Coffeyville Community College in Kansas to hone his craft. After earning junior college All-American honors as a sophomore, Wilson made the move north to the blue turf in Boise. It didn’t take long for him to make his presence felt in a Broncos uniform.<\/p>\n

Wilson caught 56 passes for 1,129 yards and 11 touchdowns during his junior season. His 20.16 yards per reception led the nation among players who finished with a minimum of 50 catches on the year. His previous background as a quarterback was also on full display. He completed a 61-yard touchdown pass in a 21-10 win over Utah State on October 1, 2016. The following year, he finished second nationally with 1,511 receiving yards and was one of just eight players in FBS to average over 100 yards per game.<\/p>\n
