Wilson character issues.

[Rags]

It's from Walterfootball, so take it with a grain of salt, but I do trust his sources more than his scouting.

If true it's a red flag. Though skill trumps character and his teammates still seem to love him. Worst case he'll respond well to the growing up he has to do in the NFL.

I have seen this reported and searched and searched, but can't seem to find anything crazy or egregious at all. Color me confused.

It’s the season of digging up dirt on kids. I don’t care if he is an entitled brat so long as he can ball out on sundays. Wonder if it would take too long to verify his uncle owns Jet Blue.

On Cam Newton pre draft:

The most stinging criticism came from Nolan Nawrocki in the Pro Football Weekly draft guide. He called Newton“very disingenuous” with a “fake smile.” “He comes off as very scripted and has a selfish, me-first makeup, Nawrocki wrote. “Always knows where the cameras are and plays to them. He has an enormous ego with a sense of entitlement that continually invites trouble and makes him believe he is above the law - does not command respect from teammates and always will struggle to win a locker room," Nawrocki wrote.

This

Wilson has character concerns, rich kid who is an entitled brat - uncle owns Jet Blue -, parents are a pain, not a leader, selfish, and he's a know-it-all.

does not jive with this

"His positives are that he's super competitive, not to get scared and won't back down, extremely confident, very smart with keen recall and teammates will play for him."

One of the all-time great poo takes.

Sounds like great footballer and possible jerk when he is off the field.

Here is a fluff piece on him from BYU. 

I don’t know about entitled, etc but it’s clear he was pushed hard by his father his entire childhood.

The whole know it all/brat/selfish and the team will play for him seem to contradict each other. If his teammates like him then I don’t believe the other stuff is a red flag. There’s a difference between Johnny Manziel and Baker Mayfield. Heck, ask a hundred non Panther fans about Cam and you probably hear very similar comments. Cam was often called a baby and selfish.

Nolan Nawrocki is a known hater if you have happened to read anything else he's ever written about a "controversial" player.

Haters are going to hate instead of giving the benefit of the doubt.

Jet Blue is a public company. No one owns them, people own stock. His uncle founded the company so he’s probably got quite a lot of stock and might still be employed. No idea how rich his parents are but as you said it’s all about digging up dirt.

I’m probably the biggest opponent of drafting Wilson with a top pick but...

’not a leader’ and

’teammates will play for him’

Doesn't make sense. 

And you’re talking about circumstances out of his control not his ACTIONS/ conscious decisions, which matter most.

Seems petty.
