Former UGA star Isaiah Wilson may be the wildest story in last year’s NFL draft.
Some thought that the great offensive striker may have left college too soon, but Wilson had a meteoric rise with NFL scouts and was selected at the end of the first round by the Tennessee Titans.
However, things went to a precipice from there: Wilson only played a total of four snaps as a rookie after a series of incidents off the field.
On Tuesday. Titans general manager Jon Robinson told reporters that he has not spoken to Wilson since the team put him on the NFI list in December:
“He will have to decide whether he wants to do whatever it takes to play professional football – that will be up to him.”
Wilson signed a $ 11.5 million four-year rookie contract, including a signing bonus of almost $ 6 million. The beginning of his career in the NFL was obviously a major disappointment for the Titans.
“We worked with him a lot before the draft,” said Robinson. “The player who was here in the fall was not the player we evaluated.”
