2011 NFL Draft Profile: Lawrence Wilson - Connecticut, LB

Height: 6-1

Weight: 229lbs

PROS: Shows good speed on the field but did not time well. Had fantastic production in his 4-year career. Scrapes through traffic well due to his quickness. Does a good job as a read and react defender dropping into zone coverage. Plays with a high motor and lots of intensity. Will drive through the ball carrier when he tackles and wraps up well.

CONS: Some teams might want him to add some bulk to his frame. Takes bad angles in pursuit at times. Does not have much experience rushing the passer. Gets caught by misdirection plays and play action fakes because he tends to play out of control at times and over pursue. Relies on his quickness to shed blocks and can get blocked out of plays due to poor technique.
