Former Georgia offensive lineman, first-round pick getting second chance

Isaiah Wilson, a former second team All-SEC offensive tackle for the Georgia Bulldogs, might be getting a second chance, according to a report from ESPN’s Field Yates. Yates reported Friday that Wilson had a workout with the Indianapolis Colts this week, his first workout since being released by the Miami Dolphins this offseason.

Wilson was selected in the first round, with the 29th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans. He appeared in just one game for the Titans, logging four total snaps, in a year that was otherwise plagued by off-field conflicts.

First, in July of his rookie season, Wilson was placed on the COVID-`19 reserve list while vying for the starting right tackle position. Weeks later, in mid-August, Tennessee State University police issued a trespassing warning to Wilson, after they breaking up an on-campus party; the Titans said they handled the issue internally. Come September, Wilson was placed on the COVID-19 reserve list for a second time. And a week later, he was arrested for DUI and later released on bond. His rookie season ended in early December, when the Titans suspended Wilson for a violation of team rules, just a week and change after making his NFL debut — a game in which he appeared for just four snaps.

Wilson was arrested once more in January of 2021, prompting the Titans to move on from their first-round draft selection, despite him appearing in a Titans uniform for just four snaps.

“I’m done with football as a Titan,” Wilson, 22, posted in a since-deleted tweet shortly before the trade went through. “No further comments.”

The Titans dealt Wilson to the Miami Dolphins for pennies on the dollar: after selecting him in the first round and signing him to a sizable rookie contract, the Titans traded Wilson and a 2022 seventh-round pick for a 2021 seventh-round pick. Within the first three days of his time in Miami, the Miami Herald reported that Wilson was late to a team orientation, skipped two optional workouts to which he committed, then posted a slew of videos on social media, including one that shows Wilson dancing on a car. Wilson was then cut by the Miami Dolphins just three days after he landed with the franchise.

Wilson, a native of Brooklyn, New York, was a five-star tackle out of Poly Prep, and he committed to the University of Georgia as a top-five ranked tackle in the Class of 2017 and a top-20 recruit in the entire class.
