As far as Mayock is concerned, New England did itself a huge favor in trading up twice to land impact defensive players Chandler Jones and Dont’a Hightower. “Bill Belichick’s M.O. is to trade down,” Mayock said. “However, I believe Bill knows a thoroughbred when he sees one.

When you had your workout, what did they try to stress to you in terms of what they might be asking of you?

The Combine snub definitely seems a motivating factor for the 22-year-old. “I watched every rep of it,” said Wilson. “I took it all in, watched what those guys did as far as the technique and stuff and watched their times and (went out to) compete with those guys and make myself better. "It was definitely motivating,” he added. “Anytime you don’t get into something you feel you should be in you just …. I’m a competitor. I watched it and saw what those guys did and when I got my opportunity to show what I could do, I showed what I could do.”
