Under The Radar Packers: Eric Wilson

The Packers boast a strong one-two punch at inside linebacker with De’Vondre Campbell and Quay Walker leading the charge. However, their depth doesn’t end there.

Eric Wilson is expected to be the number three linebacker and will have ample opportunities to shine during training camp and preseason. Last season, Wilson proved his mettle as a special teams specialist, making significant contributions to both the kick-off and punt units.

His impressive performance yielded a remarkable 91.7 PFF grade on special teams, racking up 10 tackles in 13 games for the Packers. Wilson’s versatility to play on multiple units grants the team greater flexibility in other positions where consistent contributors are needed. Look for his impact to have a ripple effect on the rest of the roster, as his standout play enhances the team’s overall performance.
