Quincy Wilson became the second former Florida Gators player selected in the 2017 NFL Draft when the Indianapolis Colts selected him with the 46th overall pick in the second round.
Wilson was a three-year starter for the Gators and was the only defensive player to start all 13 games for Florida in 2016. Wilson finished his career with 84 tackles; six interceptions and 14 pass breakups.
At 6-1, 211 pounds, Wilson represents the future of what cornerbacks look like in the NFL. He possesses a rare combination of size and speed and growing up the son of a coach has spent his entire life perfecting his technique. According to Pro Football Focus, Wilson played more snaps (735) than any other UF defender and allowed just 16 completions on 46 targets. That 34.8% completion percentage was tops in the SEC and fifth in the nation.
