02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Bengals traditionally employ a gap/duo power run game, allowing for between-the-tackles runs and plays that require patience.

One-cut runnerThird-down backKick returner
Best role

Wilson projects as a Year 1 special teams contributor and potential change-of-pace back, with a ceiling as a reliable third-down option.

Wrong fit

He would struggle in a purely wide-zone system that consistently asks for sweeping, outside runs requiring exceptional lateral agility and burst.

His versatile skill set as a runner, receiver, and returner makes him a valuable asset for a team looking for depth and special teams impact, particularly in a power-run scheme.
