Donovan Wilson continues to shine for the Dallas Cowboys
Donovan Wilson was a standout player at Texas A&M, who because of injuries, fell to the 6th round of the 2019 NFL draft, where he was selected by the Dallas Cowboys. Wilson broke out in 2020 as one of the lone bright spots on a terrible Cowboys defense, but missed enough time in 2021 that his shine was lessened.
But 2022 has been a different story. The Dallas defense is off to a start not matched in big D since the glory days of the Doomsday defenses of the early 1970’s and Wilson has been one of the keys to that success.
Wilson continued to stand out in the Cowboys Week 4 win over their division rival Washington Commanders, and earned recognition from our friend K.D. Drummond at Cowboys Wire in his 10 takeaways from the game.
The Cowboys love to run three-safety looks under Dan Quinn, and Donovan Wilson continues to prove this as the correct philosophy. Filling in for Jayron Kearse as the in-the-box safety since Week 1, Wilson had another tremendous game.
He led Dallas in solo (8) and total tackles (9) and also caused Wentz to be flagged for intentional grounding to avoid a sack. His hard-hitting ways have been impressive since he’s in the league but he’s finally coming into his own as a complete player.
