Wilson\u2019s five-star recruitment status and number one prospect ranking throughout the state of New York earned him offers from schools such as Alabama, Clemson, LSU, Ohio State, Michigan, and Nebraska before choosing Georgia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wilson elected to redshirt his 2017 season and as a 2018 redshirt freshman, he started in all 14 games for the Bulldogs at right tackle. Additionally, Wilson earned a spot on the Freshman All-SEC team for his 2018 performance. Wilson put together another solid season in 2019 as he played in all 11 of Georgia\u2019s games and earned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/sec-football\/ap-announces-all-sec-2019-selections-players-and-coach-of-the-year-honors\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">All-SEC Second Team<\/a> honors. Wilson\u2019s decision to go pro surprised many as he likely would have been a high draft pick in next year&#8217;s class. Additionally, at just 20 years old, Wilson is one of the youngest prospects in this year\u2019s draft class.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Strengths<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easily the size of an NFL offensive tackle;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excels with power in run blocking;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Powerful punches when they connect;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High upside and a very raw player;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Competitively tough intangibles and not afraid to stick his nose in the pile;<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Has a nasty streak and finishes blocks by planting defenders into the turf;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eye popping natural strength.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Weaknesses<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heavy, slow feet in pass protection;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fundamentals in run and pass blocking need polishing;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Struggles with flexibility and does not have great lateral movement skills;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redshirt Sophomore with raw football IQ and technique;<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Only played two years of college football<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hand punches need to find consistency but are devastating when they connect.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>NFL Comparison: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/C\/CannMa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marcus Cannon<\/a>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Teams With Need at Position: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/bears\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chicago Bears<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/broncos\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Denver Broncos<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/browns\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cleveland Browns<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/buccaneers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/cardinals\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arizona Cardinals<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/chargers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Los Angeles Chargers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/dolphins\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Miami Dolphins<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/giants\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York Giants<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/jets\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York Jets<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/redskins\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Washington Redskins<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/seahawks\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Seattle Seahawks<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Projection: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Early to late second round<\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Bottom Line on Isaiah Wilson<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many were surprised when Wilson elected to enter the draft this season given how deep this year\u2019s offensive tackle class is. Additionally, Wilson\u2019s fundamentals along with overall technique are still quite raw and need polishing. However, while Wilson does not possess the natural athleticism of an NFL left tackle, his natural power and strength cannot be overlooked. Wilson is a mauler in the run game with an impressive frame and enough athleticism to develop his pass protection skills. Improved footwork, consistent hand strikes, and possibly shedding some extra weight would help make up for Wilson\u2019s lack of natural top end athleticism. Although he carries his weight well, there are some questions as to whether or not that he will struggle to keep extra pounds off his frame. With proper coaching, Wilson will develop into a solid starting right tackle at the next level who would be a devastating run blocker, but may need help against quicker edge rushers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"ZEa62FvtQ_9R4rXAGo6f1w\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1209422107\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:&#8217;ZEa62FvtQ_9R4rXAGo6f1w&#8217;,sig:&#8217;xIHa8Da4AG59F4c0FFf2bNHyyYtvJ3rMcCz04E8rCGk=&#8217;,w:&#8217;594px&#8217;,h:&#8217;396px&#8217;,items:&#8217;1209422107&#8242;,caption: true ,tld:&#8217;com&#8217;,is360: false })});<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isaiah Wilson Overview Position: Offensive tackle Height: 6\u20196\u201d Weight: 350 lbs Arms: 35 \u00bd\u201d Hands: 10 \u00bc\u201d School: Georgia NFL Combine Performance Data 40 Yard Dash: 5.32 seconds Three Cone Drill: 8.26 seconds Bench Press: 26 reps Vertical Jump: 29\u201d Broad Jump: 110\u201d Isaiah Wilson 2020 NFL Draft Profile\u00a0 As a senior for New York\u2019s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3217,"featured_media":85145,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1647,54],"tags":[5273],"class_list":["post-85121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-draft","category-editorials","tag-2020-nfl-draft"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3217"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85121"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85121\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/85145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85121"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
