Mack Wilson Switching Jersey, Signaling Defensive Leadership

0:00For the NFL, it's March 20, here's what's happening, make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. Linebacker Mack Wilson's senior of the Arizona Cardinals is switching his jersey from number two to number one. That's the same number his former teammate Kyler Murray wore for seven years. Now in his third season with the team, Wilson shared the news on social media. He's 28 and never done number one before, not in college or the pros. The move feels like a strong signal as he steps up on defense. Wilson has led the Cardinals unit for two years, boosting them from 31st in points allowed to 15th in his debut season. Early this year, they ranked top 10 before his week 9 injury against Dallas, tanked everything, leaving them 29th and 3 wins 14 losses. Off the field, he's a vocal presence, hyping teammates online and even releasing a schedule reveal song last off season. He's delivered triple the value on his three year $12,700,000 contract.
