Ourlads' Profile:

2019 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about MACK WILSON: Alabama, 6011 240 4.69. Junior entry from Montgomery AL. First year starter in 2018 after outstanding special team and situational play in the two previous seasons. Wilson broke out this season demonstrating what NFL teams want in an every down linebacker. Outstanding initial read and react with normally exact fits at inside gaps. Takes the proper path to the ball and can adjust on the move. Fluid change of direction with range to chase across the field. Smooth lateral movement with a burst to run to the alley or edge. Explosive knee bender attacking blocks with a strong strike with the hands. Makes tackles in space with fundamental form and power to finish. Quick getting into a pass drop with a sense for pattern pressure. Uses peripheral vision to see threats. Sudden plant and drive reacting on the throw with ball skills for interception and pass breaks. Very productive in coverage as he also shows man-to-man skill covering backs and tight ends. Mirrors route breaks and can stay with a vertical route. In limited reps showed some blitz skill hitting gaps. Not a dynamic downhill player as he is at his best laterally. Wilson is still a developing prospect as playing time early in his career was limited by the outstanding Alabama linebacker corps. His production along with his upside will be very attractive to teams looking for an every down linebacker. Special team play is a plus and he is a solid second day pick. 2018 stats: 71 T, 5 TFL, 1 sack, 5 PBU, 7 QBH, 1 INT. Did not work out at Combine. Second/third round. (A-32 3/8, H-9 1/4, BP-DNP, SS-4.50).
