Browns LB Mack Wilson alludes to why he left Alabama early

In wake of the injury to Alabama linebacker Dylan Moses, former member of the crimson tide and current player for the Cleveland Browns Mack Wilson took to Twitter to show support to his previous teammate.

The two were the starting mike and will linebackers for Alabama in 2018 and both helped lead the defense to a national championship.

But the conversation didn’t stop there. After he tweeted support towards Moses, Wilson also took the time to quote tweet a fan who may have found the reason why Wilson left Alabama a year early.

Wilson’s 2018 season was a bit of an up and down roller coaster. He never quite found the consistency to keep his preseason first-round grade and even fell all the way down to the fifth round of the NFL Draft where the Browns decided to grab him.

Today, Wilson has been one of the bigger surprises of fall camp in Cleveland. He’s made a big impression on his coaches and has also made a number of highlight-reel plays during his time in the preseason games.

As of right now, the jury is still out on if Wilson’s decision to leave early will pay off, but the rookie linebacker believes he has made the correct choice by putting his name in the draft the second he was eligible.
