Damon Wilson

Disruptive pass rusher with one of the best first steps and flexibility in the 2023 cycle. Owns a solid build, checking in at nearly 6-foot-4 and over 230 pounds. Has plus length for the position with arms that measure over 34 inches. Tests as a good athlete in the combine setting but plays quicker than his times indicate. Explosive and twitchy leaper. Shows the ability to bend and dip around the edge, in addition to the outstanding first step. Has high-level curvilinear movement skills with the ability to get low and turn corners at high speeds. Advanced technically and flashes quick hands. Plays with good effort. A dogged worker who has spent time training. Plays for a top high school program in Florida, helping his team to a state title as a junior. Had a big junior season, tallying 15 sacks. Was not as productive as a senior. Strong in the weight room, but will need to continue adding play strength to aid as a run defender. Can also improve his closing speed to aid in finishing plays behind the line at a higher rate. Looks like one of the better pure pass rushers in the 2023 cycle.
