Payton Wilson went No. 98 overall on Friday night in the NFL Draft to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was projected to be selected higher after an impressive final year at North Carolina State, but there was a specific injury concern that reportedly scared teams away.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the 24-year-old linebacker is missing an ACL in one of his knees.
