Professional career
Cleveland Browns
Wilson was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the fourth round, 126th overall, in the 2017 NFL draft.[1] [2] He signed his four-year rookie contract with the Browns on May 10, 2017,[3] a four-year deal reportedly worth $3 million.[4] On May 13, 2017, on the second day of rookie minicamp, Wilson suffered a fractured patella which required surgery.[5] Due to the injury, Wilson spent the entire 2017 season on the physically unable to perform list as he was never activated.[6]
On June 12, 2018, Wilson had surgery to repair a left patellar tendon suffered the previous year when he broke his knee cap, which also required surgery. He was ruled out for his second season in a row, as he was placed on injured reserve the following day.[7] [8]
Wilson was waived by the Browns on April 1, 2019, without ever appearing in a game for the team.[9]
After sitting out the 2019 NFL season, Wilson had a tryout with the Chicago Bears on August 20, 2020.[10]
Houston Gamblers
Wilson was selected in the 10th round of the 2022 USFL draft by the Houston Gamblers.[11] He was released on April 7, 2022, before the season began.[12]
BC Lions
Wilson signed with the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League on April 8, 2022. He was released by the Lions on May 23, 2022.[13]
