Ahead of the Colts’ Week 3 game against the Titans, they are working out a recent Tennessee first-round bust. Isaiah Wilson trekked to Indianapolis for an audition, Field Yates of ESPN.com tweets.
One of the 2020 draft’s top tackle prospects, Wilson flamed out of Tennessee fast. After myriad issues limited Wilson to four snaps as a rookie, the Titans traded him to the Dolphins earlier this year. The Dolphins waived Wilson not long after acquiring him, leaving last year’s 29th overall pick out of football 11 months after being drafted.
Wilson’s laundry list of issues since being drafted include two arrests — one for DUI in 2020 and another after he was involved in a high-speed car chase in January — and a trespass warning for attending a party on the Tennessee State campus. Wilson had two stints on the Titans’ reserve/COVID-19 list and ended the season on Tennessee’s NFI list, that coming after a team-imposed suspension. The former Georgia blocker also tweeted about potentially being done with football in February.
This Colts meeting marks Wilson’s first workout since the Dolphins cut him in March. Indianapolis has experienced persistent problems at tackle this year, however.
Eric Fisher made his debut in Week 2 after completing Achilles rehab, but standout right tackle Braden Smith is currently sidelined with foot and thumb injuries. The Colts declared Smith out for the Titans matchup. Indianapolis also lost Sam Tevi for the season with an ACL tear.
his twitter is @layzay still. nothings changing with him.
I don’t know why you would give this guy a chance to be honest
LOL. Josh Gordon potentially coming back from his SIXTH NFL suspension. Teams don’t care.
Has it only been 6? Jeez lol
Have you seen Julie’n Davenport play? I’d take anyone who can hold up better.
Obviously if you get cut after playing 4 snaps you’re pretty terrible
Why not? Last chancers sometimes come through. In 2020 the Colts, badly needing a WR, passed on AB who was down to his last chance. That worked out well for the Pat’s…
Mr. Big Chest?
Don’t forget Tony Mandarich, labeled a bust but became a solid starter for the Colts in 98 during Manning’s rookie year.
