01.31.10 - Kyle Wilson (Boise St.) – Was the big riser and the hot prospect during the Senior Bowl practices. Had a few nice plays on the ball, but nothing outstanding. Could be the victim of seriously raised expectations. Noticably dropped an easy interception. Not sure he’s a first round talent. – Atlanta Journal Constitution

01.30.10 - Wilson, known for his intense competitive streak, has been working out in Orlando, Fla., with several other draft prospects. Among them is former Florida State cornerback Patrick Robinson - and word at the Senior Bowl is that Wilson tries to beat Robinson at everything, including stretching. Said Wilson: "I'm always looking to do more. I'm really just looking to finish strong, to put together another solid game and make as many plays as possible out there." Before this week, ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. didn't even have Wilson listed among the top five cornerbacks available. – Idaho Statesman

Senior Bowl: Boise State cornerback Kyle Wilson was clearly the best defender on the NORTH roster today... his straight-line speed is evident, but his smooth footwork in the drills and solid ball skills really helped boost his stock today... he is said to be clocking at near sub-4.3 40-times in pre-combine workouts so he could jump into the back end of the first-round with a few more solid practices and 40-times like that next month... will remind some of former Connecticut cornerback Darius Butler who flashed a similar skill set a year ago at this game and was then taken #41 overall (2nd round) by the New England Patriots. – January 25, 2010

Quick Hit: Last season Wilson was named first-team All-WAC cornerback and second-team all-conference punt returner. He lead the team with five interceptions, 10 pass breakups and 15 passes defended, to go along with 35 total tackles and five tackles for loss. He had 33 punt returns, good for 470 yards and three touchdowns. Wilson is 5’10, 184 and runs in the 4.4-range. He excels in both man-to-man and zone coverage and when he get his hands on the ball can make plays. He isn’t just a cover cornerback but will come up and support the run. Entering his senior campaign, Wilson holds a third-to-fourth round grade.

12.14.09 - Wilson's senior year at Boise has mirrored his senior year at Piscataway. He's been a multi-purpose threat at cornerback and punt returner. At corner, he has 40 tackles and three interceptions, two of which he took to the house. As a return man he's averaging 10.4 yards. The adjustments he had to make on the field were just as significant. "When I came here I didn't know too much about the playbook and Xs and Os," he said. "I played a lot on instincts in high school, but I've definitely grown as a student of the game. I really take the film work seriously." A four-year starter, Wilson has made 151 career tackles, intercepted 11 passes and averaged 12.7 yards per punt return. Three of those punt returns went for touchdowns.
