One popular player who is sure to hear his name called this weekend is Wyoming linebacker Logan Wilson. He apparently has a load of suitors and has made himself available to them ever since meeting with all 32 teams at the Senior Bowl.
One draft prospect who got a jumpstart on the lockdown: Wyoming LB Logan Wilson, who had his pro day, visited the #Eagles and had in-person meetings with the #Bengals, #Cardinals, #Giants, #Rams, among others. Over 20 team meetings/video calls in all. A name to remember on Day 2.

As we all know, the New York Giants do some of their best recruiting at the Senior Bowl, drafting the game’s MVP the past two years (Kyle Lauletta, Daniel Jones) and have had conversations with this year’s MVP (Justin Herbert) although that’s likely for appearances only.
Wilson has been on the lips of many a pundit and scout this past week as teams scour the draft class for sleepers.
Louis Riddick of ESPN just listed #Wyoming LB Logan Wilson as a riser in the draft. Mentioned that he could sneak into first round. He's three-down player. I see late second, early third for the Cowboys star. #Denver7

Wilson’s agent disagrees that his client is a sleeper…
Not a riser. The media is just finally catching up. Plug & play. From a GM today “he’s better than Vander Esch coming out of Boise.” https://t.co/ZwugWB1iGh

Wilson, a 6-foot-2, 241-pound senior was a three-year captain at Wyoming and is just another one of these kids who gets the game and can succeed at the pro level.
“His play recognition, burst and lateral agility help him play faster than his timed speed and his fundamentals as a tackler are as good as you’ll find in this draft,” writes NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein.
Draft analyst Tony Pauline sees Wilson and a Day 2 prospect and the interest in him will likely get him picked in Rounds 2 or 3.
“Plays heads-up football and always looks to get involved in the action. Sells out to make plays and sacrifices his body to make the stop. Unfolds plays before they happen. Rarely off his feet, takes good angles and covers a good amount of area on the field.”
