The Herald's Adam Kurkjian on Tavon Wilson:
Daily dose of improvement works for Tavon Wilson - BostonHerald.com
The Pats used a 3 man safety core group of Patrick Chung, Brandon Meriweather and James Sanders for a couple of years. If Gregory turns out to be a less athletic version of Meriweather with more discipline and smarts, and Wilson turns out to be a more athletic version of James Sanders, that wouldn't be a terribly bad group.
If he was considered such a reach on draft day, he hasn’t looked like one so far. Part of that is due to Wilson being as diligent with his mental preparation as his physical approach to the pro game.
“You’ve just got to attack the playbook just like you attack the field,” he said. “You’ve got to be in your book as much as you can, like all the time, so you can be the best player you can be and you can be comfortable out there.”
The NFL veterans in the secondary have also helped Wilson get comfortable.
“He’s great,” safety Steve Gregory, entering his seventh year in the league but first with the Pats, said of Wilson. “He’s a good football player. We’re all trying to learn the system together and play together. We’re getting to know each other and learning to play together. It’s going well.”
