STM Take

Seven years of NFL survival as a 2019 5th-round pick plus the Alabama 2017 CFP National Championship pedigree puts Wilson in the journeyman champion class with structural mid-tier ceiling. The career STTM range mostly tier 6-8 confirms the ceiling. The 2026 question is whether Wilson holds tier 7 or better with the Cardinals or whether the role compresses to swing depth.

Wilson came out of Alabama as the Cleveland Browns' 5th-round pick (155th overall) in 2019 after winning the 2017 CFP National Championship with the Crimson Tide. He has bounced through the Browns, Patriots, and now Cardinals across seven NFL seasons. His STTM career runs tier 6 (#42) in 2019 and 2020, tier 7 (#50) in 2023, tier 8 (#61) in 2024, and tier 8 (#68) in 2025.

Strengths

Alabama 2017 CFP National Championship pedigree plus seven years of NFL survival gives him real journeyman veteran market value.
Multi-team experience across three systems gives him basic plug-in linebacker veteran depth value.

Concerns

Career STTM range mostly tier 6-8 confirms the structural ceiling has rarely climbed above rotational depth.
Arizona's broader defensive identity around the multi-year rebuild compresses the structural support around Wilson.

What to watch: Whether Wilson holds tier 7 or better in 2026 with the Cardinals or whether the role compresses to swing depth.
