More Quotes from Ernie Accorsi:
There were other safeties up there, but Wilson was the fastest, ... And because of that, our big question with him is, Can he track the ball We can see him as a weak or strong safety. We were not looking for an 'in the box, play close to the line of scrimmage, run-defend only' safety. That's not what we were looking for. We were looking for someone that can do that but who also had the ability to play free safety and play centerfield. And because of his speed, we picked him. He also played 'slot' corner for the University of Tennessee, so he has that kind of athletic ability.Ernie Accorsi

As it is with all of these guys, do they have the stomach for pro football I remember Jack Ramsey introducing me to Charles Barkley. I said to him, 'You would make a great tight end.' He told me I was out of my mind. He said, 'Do you think I want to get hit in the mouth on every play' It's a different world. It's all about wanting it badly enough.

I think he's got a chance. We're not doing this as a gimmick. There was competition to get him. I'm pleased we got him.
