Cleveland Browns News: Mack Wilson underwhelming in tape study
By Randy Gurzi
The Daily Dawg Tags bring you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know, including one person being less than impressed with Mack Wilson’s tape study
There were two players who slipped to the Cleveland Browns in the 2019 NFL Draft. One was LSU cornerback Greedy Williams, who they moved up to pick 46 in order to grab. The other was Alabama linebacker Mack Wilson, who somehow lasted until Round 5.
Mack was expected to go much higher than that, but one writer thinks a lack of passion or ability to play quick had something to do with his fall. Terry Pluto recently took some time to study both Wilson and third-round pick Sione Takitaki.
He admits he’s no scout, but did see a big discrepancy between the two players. In fact, he even called Wilson’s film study “underwhelming.”

"“If you look at Wilson’s tape, it’s a major contrast to Takitaki.The Alabama linebacker doesn’t seem as quick. Or at least, he doesn’t play with the same passion. That’s probably why he slipped into the fifth round.”"
Pluto had no idea who Takitaki was when the pick was announced but seemed much more impressed with his work than what he saw out of Wilson. Both could end up being fixtures in the Browns defense one day, but for now, Wilson doesn’t have as many believers it would seem.
