New Orleans Saints waive LB Martez Wilson - ESPN
The Saints drafted the athletic 6-foot-4, 252-pounder out of Michigan State in the third round in 2011. But he was never able to find a consistent role on the defense while switching positions and defensive coordinators every year.
Chances are he’ll get picked up somewhere else around the league, since athletes of his caliber aren’t easy to find.
Wilson ran the fastest 40-yard dash of any linebacker at the 2011 scouting combine (4.49 seconds). And his former Illinois coach and former defensive coordinator Ron Zook once said, “Probably, other than [former Saints pass-rusher] Joe Johnson, he might be more of a pure athlete than anyone I coached with the Saints.”
