NFL: 5 Players Who Must Improve This Season

2. Kyle Wilson

Kyle Wilson When the New York Jet€™s drafted Kyle Wilson, they couldn€™t have been more excited that the highly regarded cornerback fell into their laps with the 29th pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. At one point, many insiders believed Wilson could be selected over Joe Haden, the other top cornerback in the draft. Partnering Wilson with Antonio Cromartie and Darrelle Revis was expected to progress Wilson€™s development quickly, forming a trio of intimidating cornerback€™s for any team to go against. While Cromartie and Revis€™ careers have been successful so far, Wilson€™s career has been, at best, mediocre. In his three year career heading into the 2013 season, Wilson has never had more than two interceptions in a season, and has had less than 50 tackles in all three seasons. Routinely, Wilson has been torched in coverage, getting run by receivers left and right. With Revis supposedly getting traded soon, Wilson will be pushed into a starting position yet again, but this time, Wilson has to take advantage of the opportunity if he wants to stick around much longer with the Jets, or any other team in the NFL.
