As far as Mayock is concerned, New England did itself a huge favor in trading up twice to land impact defensive players Chandler Jones and Dont’a Hightower. “Bill Belichick’s M.O. is to trade down,” Mayock said. “However, I believe Bill knows a thoroughbred when he sees one. He knows that defense is what they lacked in last year. So all of a sudden, they get one of the best linebackers in this draft to go with one of the best pass rushers.”

When you had your workout, what did they try to stress to you in terms of what they might be asking of you? Was it that you’ll be standing up a lot, you’ll be going forward? “It was actually quite a bit of both. They wanted to see, first of all, my pass rushing ability, my ‘get off’ out of my three-point stance, but also quite a bit of two-point work, working out in coverage, covering the spot drops and doing everything with the linebacker aspect as well.”

The Combine snub definitely seems a motivating factor for the 22-year-old. “I watched every rep of it,” said Wilson. “I took it all in, watched what those guys did as far as the technique and stuff and watched their times and (went out to) compete with those guys and make myself better. "It was definitely motivating,” he added. “Anytime you don’t get into something you feel you should be in you just …. I’m a competitor. I watched it and saw what those guys did and when I got my opportunity to show what I could do, I showed what I could do.”
