97: elite creator

One number for how well Wilson has actually played lately, not a talent rating. 70% is the skill profile, weighted towards efficiency; the rest is how steady his games are and whether he still produces against the better defences. Ranked against every qualified linebacker; 99 is the best. Over the last three seasons he scores 80 (#28 of 86).
