INDIANAPOLIS — Former Georgia Bulldogs offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson is an impressive 2020 NFL Draft prospect in his own right. However, the Associated Press All-SEC second-teamer isn’t a product singularly of his own talent. The 6-7, 340-pounder enjoys watching the style and technique of other dominant tackles in the NFL and hopes to add aspects of their game to his.
“It’s fun to watch all the big ballers, all the big athletic guys,” Wilson told reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine on Feb. 26. “I definitely look up to people like that.”
Here are the five offensive tackles in the NFL today that Wilson watches.
1. Las Vegas Raiders LT Trent Brown
“I studied Trent Brown a lot because I want to be like him,” Wilson said. “The punch he has, it’s a vicious punch.”
Brown scored a lucrative four-year, $66 million contract with the Raiders in the 2019 offseason, the product of his Super Bowl season with the New England Patriots in 2019. Brown didn’t finish the season as he succumbed to injuries in December, but he did earn his first career Pro Bowl selection.
