The Facts:
OC Kevin Gilbride doesn't believe he's ever had a piece to utilize quite like Wilson. "I don't know if we've had a guy as explosive, regardless of the position, here," said Gilbride of the Giants' first-round pick.

As Star-Ledger staffer Jorge Castillo reminded readers, Gilbride, entering his sixth season in New York, has coached his fair share of dynamic weapons in his five seasons leading the Giants offense. He's had Tiki Barber, Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs at RB; and Plaxico Burress, Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz at WR to name a few. "Tiki was a tremendous all-around back, Brandon would give you something, Ahmad gives you toughness, Gilbride said. "But [Wilson has] the explosion I'm not sure how many guys in the league have. ..." Gilbride contrasted Wilson to second-year running back Da'Rel Scott, whose straightaway speed is perhaps tops on the team and is different than the shiftiness Wilson brings. "A waterbug kind of a guy, that's what he looks like to me," Gilbride said of Wilson. We'll remind you again: Wilson is a rookie worth watching.
