Ozzie STEALS Former Terrapin Josh Wilson From Seattle

Nobody does it better. A first class corner like Josh for a conditional draft pick. Look for Josh to start against the Jets. When Dominique comes back think about the Ravens starting corners!!! Some excerpts from the Sun article tonight:

“He’s an extremely fiery and aggressive player, and I think he’s very talented,” said Foxworth, who played with Wilson for three years at Maryland. “I know his personality fits into what we’re building here. Josh is a no-nonsense type of guy that fits in with this defense and what it means to be a Raven. Off the field, he is a high-integrity guy. He’s a family man, who is very smart and community-minded.”

Wilson is expected to arrive in Baltimore on Wednesday, but he isn’t expected to play in the preseason finale at St. Louis.  In addition to his play on defense, Wilson can make an impact on special teams. He returned a kickoff for a touchdown as a rookie and averaged 25.4 yards on kickoffs in 2008.  Although not very big (5 feet 9, 192 pounds), Wilson is known for being a speed corner. At the 2007 NFL combine, he had the fourth-fastest time of all defensive backs (4.39).  “He adds depth to our secondary and will help us,” general manager Ozzie Newsome said. “Pending his physical, we expect Josh to be taking snaps against the Jets on opening night.”
