With the NFL Scouting Combine nearly here, prospects have begun taking interviews with teams. One of the drafts’ best players, Tyree Wilson, has made it clear he would like to play in Las Vegas.

One of the biggest events of the NFL season, the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine has arrived, and the Las Vegas Raiders go into it with plenty of draft capital. While players will soon hit the field for workouts and measurables, the opportunity to meet with the front offices and coaches is perhaps the most important part of the event.

For Texas Tech star edge rusher Tyree Wilson, he is seemingly a top-ten lock. At a staggering 6’6″ and 275 pounds, he is still an incredible athlete who is no doubt going to test well when it comes to the measurables and athletic testing,

With seven sacks in each of the last two seasons at Texas Tech, Wilson has been productive on the field as well, making him a legitimate first-round prospect. In a league where quarterback play reigns supreme, having a good pass rush is key, and Wilson is going to help some franchise get better in that regard immediately next season.

Here, we look at Wilson’s desire to put on the Silver and Black, and how he would fit in Patrick Graham’s defense.
