The best player you never heard of.

Matt Mosley: Adrian Wilson, S, Arizona
Even though he finally went to a Pro Bowl this past season, I still think Cardinals strong safety Adrian Wilson is a player we don't hear enough about. Over the past few years, the 28-year-old has been a player that opposing offenses always have to account for. I had an NFC East wide receiver tell me last season that he fears Wilson more than any safety in the game. He had eight sacks in 2005 and then followed that up with five sacks, four interceptions and 87 tackles last season. Wilson used to be a player who needed to be close to the line of scrimmage to succeed, but over the last two years, he's worked hard to improve his ball skills. He's capable of taking some of the top tight ends in the league completely out of games and he has great timing when it comes to blitzing. You put Wilson on a better team, and he would've had at least three Pro Bowl trips by now. And while a lot of players have complained at how poorly the club has been run, Wilson has been an excellent teammate.

Thats what I'm talking about

Funny. They all made the pro bowl except for Castillo, who was a 1st round pick. Yeah, we defenitely haven't heard of any of those guys before.

Roy Williams is the best safety in the game today. NOT!!!! #24 Rocks!!!

Who do you think that NFC east receiver is?

I think the only NFC east team the Cards played last year was the Cowboys --- TO? Glenn?

I read in some magazine where they asked about hard hitters in the NFL and Owens specifically said Adian Wilson hit like a truck.

I am guessing it was him.
