Just two years removed from having racked up four interceptions for the Bengals, tying his career-high set in 2021, his second year in the NFL, Wilson is indeed known for his coverage ability and in how he forces the opposing offense to turn the ball over.
“Honestly, Logan [took the ball away] in college,” Borgonzi added. “I think he had 10 takeaways when he was at Wyoming. He’s been a guy that’s done that his whole career, and the first rule of any defense is to get the ball back to your offense. That’s how you change the game on defense — you get the ball back.
“That’s what he’s shown in his past and hopefully he can bring that here.”
One thing that will certainly help Wilson, Overshown and the other linebackers on the team is the aforementioned presence of Quinnen Williams. An interior defensive line that now places an All-Pro, in his prime, beside three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark in rotation with Osa Odighizuwa and Solomon Thomas is one that allows linebackers to think less and play more.
So when Wilson got word that his trade was followed by Williams’, he was grinning ear-to-ear.
“I saw it on the plane here,” he said with a smile. “I don’t know much about the guy, I just know he’s an incredible player. To be able to play behind him is gonna be a lot of fun. I’m looking forward to it.”
The two will debut together under the bright lights in Vegas, helping the Cowboys’ odds of getting back into the win column as they desperately try to turn the 2025 season around.
