Tennessee Titans’ first round pick in 2020, Isaiah Wilson, says he ‘finished football as a Titan’ in the tweet that has since been removed

NASHVILLE, Tennessee – Nearly a week after the team’s general manager took notice, Tennessee Titans 2020’s first-round NFL draft pick, Isaiah Wilson, wrote on Twitter Monday night that he ‘finished football as a Titan’ before he deleted the tweet shortly thereafter.

Wilson was the 29th overall pick in April’s draft, but played only four snaps in his rookie season, culminating in him being placed on the non-soccer list in December. Before that, Wilson was on the reserve / COVID-19 list twice last year during training camp and in October.

The newcomer’s right suit also had some run-up with the law. The first incident occurred when police at Tennessee State University broke into an off-campus party that Wilson attended during training camp. In their report, police documented that Wilson went to the balcony on the second floor, where he apparently briefly considered jumping. He received a violation warning.

The second incident occurred when Wilson was arrested in September and charged with a DUI when he lost control of his vehicle and hit a concrete wall.

Jon Robinson, GM of the Titans, addressed Wilson’s status during a virtual news conference on Tuesday, saying he had not spoken to Wilson since placing him on the NFI list, and suggested that Wilson make a decision on whether he want to do what it takes to be a pro footballer. “

The Titans signed Wilson in August on a four-year, $ 11.6 million contract. Tennessee will have a salary cost of $ 5.4 million if it releases him.

Wilson’s agency did not respond to a request for comment Monday night.
