The Las Vegas Raiders took a flier on a raw prospect last season, who also happened to be dealing with a significant injury. That's not the most ideal thing for your very high pick to be going through as the season approaches, but it does happen.
Tyree Wilson, the Raiders' seventh-overall draft pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, didn't have the rookie season that a large portion of the fan base wanted. But, that doesn't mean he's a bust. He is far from it.
Towards the end of the season, he started playing really well. It was a big flip from the beginning of the season where he got off on the ball and was slower than average. He picked up the speed and started translating his production well. The Raiders even moved him inside on obvious passing downs and he did some work there, too.
But, there are obviously still some concerns. The production, while it was much improved, was still not where a seventh-overall pick should be. This offseason has been a big one for him to prove he deserved to be picked where he was. From everything we have heard, from coaches and even guys like Maxx Crosby, Wilson has been working his butt off, and it's already showing.
Wilson headed out to the Sack Summit - a program that guys like Maxx Crosby , New Orleans Saints Cam Jordan, and Buffalo Bills Von Miller have put on for some time now. This is a camp that sees some of the best pass rushers in the league all gather around and share info together while also teaching and helping one another.
None other than Tyree Wilson was there, the exact person you want to see there after the season he had. He has been working his tail off this offseason, and that's all we have heard about. We have also heard that he is in crazy good shape, and it's very noticeable.
There is a new picture of him surfacing that proves just how big of a difference that is.
This dude's arms are humongous. And, he looks like he is in one million times better shape than this time last year. If you're a Raiders fan, you have to love seeing this, and can't wait to see what the kid has in store for year two.
