02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Rex Ryan's aggressive, attacking 3-4 defense relies on cornerbacks who can excel in press-man coverage and contribute to a strong run defense.

Boundary CBPress-man specialistNickel CB
Best role

As a Year 1 starter, Kyle Wilson could quickly become the boundary cornerback opposite Darrelle Revis, eventually developing into an elite NFL shutdown corner.

Wrong fit

A passive, off-coverage zone heavy scheme where he is asked to consistently read quarterbacks' eyes rather than disrupting receivers at the line.

Wilson’s competitive nature and physical tools are perfectly suited for a system that aims to disrupt offenses at every level.

04The evaluation

Selected #29 overall in Round 1 of the 2010 NFL Draft by New York Jets out of Boise State.
