<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; "><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: 800;">I was just reading the Philadelphia Inquirer stories on Fletcher Cox and came across this quote by NFL Film's Greg Cosell. One part of the quote really stuck out to me and just further affirmed why we have to keep Chris Wilson and pay him. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: 800;">

He's got terrific body flexibility. He's got great quickness off the ball. He's quick and light on his feet. There are times he does not look like a 298-pound man. I think he has natural strength. He showed the ability to go from speed to power as a pass rusher. The thing that really stood out to me as well was how he was used at Mississippi State. There were times they lined him up at defensive end, and if you didn't know who he was and just watched him rush the quarterback from D-End, you would have said this guy can play D-End in the NFL and rush the quarterback. So, I think Fletcher Cox, to me, is the best defensive tackle prospect in this draft, and I'm not sure it's even close."</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; "><span>

He was the #3 pick in the 2010 draft which wasthe draft after Wilson's last season at OU in 2009. He worked with McCoythe whole time he was at OU and turned him into a top draft pick. I think he will do the same with Josh Boyd and I think he can do the same with Quay. We need to pay this man money and lots of it. He knows what the hellhe is doing andour defenses have played good enough to beat just about every team we've playedsince Wilson got here.

He was around 240-250 when he got to State. He gained 50-60 pounds in a matter of no time. He does not look like any 300 pound guy I have seen in a while.
