'From being a Wyoming kid with big dreams to hearing my name called in the 3rd round of the 2020 Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals… football gave me more than I ever could have imagined. 'Cincinnati will always mean a lot to me. The teammates, coaches, staff, and fans made those years unforgettable. That 2021 playoff run was something special — the interception in Tennessee to send us to the AFC Championship, beating Kansas City to win the AFC, and taking the field in the Super Bowl. Those moments and that locker room are something I’ll carry with me forever. And the best part of all, my daughter was born there.' BEARS PRO BOWL CENTER DREW DALMAN RETIRES AT 27 IN STUNNING MOVE: REPORT He said he was 'thankful' to the Cowboys for letting him finish the 2025 season there. 'When I look back on my career, I just feel grateful. Not many Wyoming kids get the chance to live out their dream in the NFL, and I never took a single snap for granted,' he continued. 'I also want to thank my friends and family for the support they’ve given me every step of the way. To my wife, my daughter, my mom, my dad, and my sister — none of this would have been possible without you.' He said he was excited for the next chapter of his life. 'Who Dey forever,' he added. '55 out.' Wilson played 12 games in his rookie year in 2020 with the Bengals, starting two of them. He then earned the starting role in 2021 and continued to be the starter for Cincinnati until he was traded to Dallas.
