Isaiah Wilson’s days in Tennessee seem to be coming to an end. On Monday night, the official Twitter of the offensive attack accounted for tweeted that he is “made with football like a titan” and I would not comment further on the situation. The post remained on the social media page of the first 2020 shift choice for more than 10 minutes before it was finally removed by Wilson or someone who also has access to his account.
This is just the last ordeal in what turned out to be a disastrous start to Wilson’s NFL career, after being selected by the club with 29th overall last spring. He recorded just four clicks for the Titans last season and was placed on the non-football reserve / injury list in early December, after the 22-year-old dealt with a series of problems off the field. Wilson was arrested by DUI in September and was also suspended by the team at the end of the season for violating club rules. It was after the suspension was lifted when he was placed on the list of diseases not related to football due to “personal problems.”
Earlier this month, GM Jon Robinson of the Titans was asked about Wilson’s status with the team and noted that he had not contacted him since being placed on the NFI list. Robinson also put the ball in Wilson’s court, whether he wants to continue his career or not.
“He will have to decide whether he wants to do whatever it takes to play professional football. That will depend on him,” said Robinson at the time, through the team’s official website.
At the time the Titans selected Georgia’s 6-foot-6, 350-pounder, he was seen as someone who could help anchor the offensive line opposite Taylor Lewan, helping to protect Ryan Tannehill while also paving the way for Derrick Henry in the racing game. Unfortunately for Tennessee, it does not appear that the first round will pay the dividends that most organizations expect when making such a significant investment.
As for Wilson’s career in the NFL, it looks like he is currently hanging by a thread.
