Professional career
San Francisco 49ers
He was drafted with the sixth pick of the sixth round of the 2001 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. After being used primarily as a kick returner in 2001, Wilson's role in the San Francisco offense expanded throughout the next three seasons, and Wilson posted career highs in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns in 2004.
Pittsburgh Steelers
On March 8, 2005, Wilson signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers and has had considerably less success in the 2005 season.
Wilson's breakout for the Steelers came during the 2005 NFL playoffs. Having caught only 26 passes for 461 yards and 2 touchdowns during the regular season, Wilson became a "go to guy" on the Steelers road to Super Bowl XL. In the Steelers' 4 post-season games (including the Super Bowl), Wilson recorded 9 receptions for 216 yards and 2 touchdowns, averaging 24 yards per catch.
Personal
In 2008, Wilson began serving as offensive coordinator at Douglass High School in Memphis, Tennessee. Dee Montgomery, Wilson's former coach at Melrose High School, is also on the staff.[1]
