The Dallas Cowboys run a traditional Cover-2/Cover-3 scheme which prioritizes zone coverage with occasional man principles.
Wilcox projects as a Year 1 contributor on special teams, with a long-term ceiling as a starting deep safety who excels in two-high shells and can fill the alley when needed.
He would struggle in a purely man-to-man heavy defense that consistently asks safeties to cover receivers downfield in isolation due to his average change-of-direction skills.
Wilcox's straight-line speed and physical build make him a good fit for a defense that values strong run support and deep zone coverage over intricate man assignments.
Selected #80 overall in Round 3 of the 2013 NFL Draft by Dallas Cowboys out of Georgia Southern.
