Man I wish the world had gotten to see this talent. I am a VT fan (all 3 of my kids went to VT) and a life long NY Giants fan. Wilson was awesome. Talk about fast. At a VT practice the other players saw a rabbit come out on the field and kidded david to go catch it. he ran it down and caught it. Speed and cutting ability would have been Barry Sanders like i believe if he could have kept going. Always remember you David. Best of luck.
As with everybody else I had high hopes for that kid, but just remember Bradshaw had a pretty goddam good career himself. Especially for a 7th round pick out of Marshall. Wilson's electric speed was a weapon we had never had before at running back.
Absolutely agree. With Coughlin in charge, he went to the wrong team. It reminded me of Kareem Hunt's first NFL game @NE when he fumbled his first carry... If Andy Reid benched him for that, like Coughlin would, we never see Hunt get the 200+ total yards and 3 TD's and a Chiefs win
All I can say is..if him and Jacobs would have worked the way it Should have happened..Damn who knows how much damage would have been done..also as I use to say on each of his breaks..HEY MR WIILLLLSSOOOOONN!
Im sorry but the giants don't know how to scout xfactor linemen. Pass Rushers and Rush Stuffers seem to be years ahead of OLinemen in the NFL its hard to do much with a below average o line
Yes Barkley will be amazing continue to help Barkley run the ball contine to build in the trenches but going back to Wilson they should of just used him as a return man cause he had no o line help at all
@@DeadStormPooper I rather would of had him play wide receiver or a slot receiver and return man the o line stinked that year all is said and done we have saquads now contine to help him run the ball I wouldn't complain about a number one return man either who had the ability to take to the house also reese screwed over the giants big time
@@richnorman1123 You cant just make someone who plays running back in college who you also spent a first round pick, a wide reciever like that. Position changes like that happen with later round picks. He was drafted to be a starting running back no matter what the oline was like. Its just unfortunate his career was cut short. A good running back helps out the offensive line aswell.
Richard Engroff I wouldnt call him a flat out bust. The 2013 team he was on was a complete disaster in the first half so i’m sure he had no holes to run through. Give Wilson a good line and you woulda seen results
Man as much as I wish David Wilson stayed with the giants, saquons going to be the best runningback of all time
Bark Bark is a fucking beast, GANGBLU #NYG
Best of all time dude played one season lmao hell nah hell be great but pump the brakes
Dawson Brown uhhhh, saquon did some stuff we’ve never seen before this season....
Giants Hub relax
Giants Hub maybe stuff you never seen
Yep, all I remeber was those awesome flips after a touch down run

I'm a uva and giants fan. I have good and bad memories of David Wilson. The bad ones are all from vt days. 😂
He was a talent that never was unfortunately.... he could've been a great return weapon
Man what a talent. Sad we never got a chance to see what he would have done. I’m glad we have Saquon but this dude would have been special as well

I was at the New Orleans game absolutely crazy he was the spark we needed by far
He was an explosive beast, too bad his career was cut short.
Sad outcome for one with such potential.
Appreciate the follow-up. I remember being saddened when he got hurt especially since I thought he would be a great asset. #BigBlueForLife
I got to call all of his games in high school. David was special.
This man was Devin Hesterish... I remember! BLEED BLUE
I remember dude. Glad he's doing well.
I've known him since he was in High School because my uncle coached him in at George Washington high school
In Danville VA
Wilson had so much potential. I loved Coughlin, but I don’t think he would have been the coach to maximize Wilson if he remained healthy.
Absolutely agree. With Coughlin in charge, he went to the wrong team. It reminded me of Kareem Hunt's first NFL game @NE when he fumbled his first carry... If Andy Reid benched him for that, like Coughlin would, we never see Hunt get the 200+ total yards and 3 TD's and a Chiefs win
Coughlin hated him and I don't know why
#EAGLES fan - I hate the Giants but i loved to watch this guy play he was NICE !!!
We Thanks for the memories ... I hope Saquan stays healthy !
This didnt age well
Great high quality video
I miss seeing those backflips in the end zone guy had crazy speed
He’s from my home town. 434📌‼️
He would've been so great for the GMEN.
I thought he was gonna be a HOF. and our RB for 10 years. smh
I loved this kid such a shame.
I miss him.
I remember he fumbled twice against cowboys on ooening night. I was so dissapointef lol
He was nice I wish worked out but I’m glad he is enjoying life and we have saquon Barkley
👏🏾💪🏾✊🏾🙌🏾 much respect!
He would have struggled behind the line Reese built.
That's why I said that dumbass learn to pay attention. SMH
This is a nice change up
I thought he was gonna be a hall of famer. oh shit i just looked at the comment below
I loved Wilson
He always lead with his helmet hard when hitting the holes n contact
All I can say is..if him and Jacobs would have worked the way it Should have happened..Damn who knows how much damage would have been done..also as I use to say on each of his breaks..HEY MR WIILLLLSSOOOOONN!

David Wilson would of been great
Yeah it's a shame, he was gonna be the future of the Giants but instead the Giants were left with a main runningback for a few years.
Wilson should sue the giants for having zero O line when he was there. They caused his injuries
he was to small to run up middle
Yes Barkley will be amazing continue to help Barkley run the ball contine to build in the trenches but going back to Wilson they should of just used him as a return man cause he had no o line help at all
Why would you use a first round pick as only a return man? lol that makes no sense.

@@DeadStormPooper yeah true good point well taken
Those backflips ruined him. Guarantee it.
That’s what happens when you happen to make it into a scripted league.
Blame those backflips
His 40 was so not a 4.49
No no way... makes me cry. He was a burner! Straight BURNER!
It's weird, I saw 4.49 but he also had a 40 listed at 4.29... I personally think he's closer to 4.29
Haha nyg barly got barkley
,
even before the injury he was a bust...never was a fan.
