[edit] Arizona Cardinals
In 2005, he signed a 5-year extension with the Cards. In 2006, Wilson earned his first trip to the Pro Bowl. In his career, he has recorded 404 solo tackles and 14 interceptions. During the 2005-2006 season, he set an NFL record for the most sacks ever by a defensive back, with eight.[2] Adrian is currently viewed as a top 3 safety in the NFL due to his outstanding athleticism and ability to deliver big hits.
[edit] Youtube Video
A video put out by Ikei Performance showed Wilson clearing a 66 inch jump. Some have inaccurately labeled it as a 66 inch vertical, which would border on physically impossible. (The best college recruits at the NFL Combine put up around a 42 inch vertical.) What was actually done was hurdling (with the double A-skip technique) over a 66 inch high post with a three-step start, which, regardless, is a feat itself. See the video [2]
