Eugene W. Wilson II (born August 17, 1980 in Merrillville, Indiana) is an American football safety for the New England Patriots of the National Football League. He attended the University of Illinois and was drafted in 2003 by the Patriots, with the fourth pick of the second round. He has helped the Patriots win Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004 and Super Bowl XXXIX in 2005. He recovered a fumble by Philadelphia Eagles tight end L.J. Smith in Super Bowl XXXIX before leaving the game after sustaining an injury on a kickoff. He also intercepted Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger twice in the Patriots 41-27 victory in the 2004 AFC Championship game. Wilson has been a big part of this young secondary the Patriots have. He is one of the main reasons many say this defence be dominate in this league for years to come.
