Wilson played in every game during his tenure with the Vikings from 2017-2020, making an impact as a linebacker, as well as on special teams.
The Michigan native reflected on why he wanted to come back to where it all started.
"I always loved it, every year. When I was first here, I loved it; it was a great place to start off," Wilson said. "Good guys, class-A organization and nothing but love for everyone here, so I'm happy to be back."
The 30-year-old has played in a few different systems over the years, but for him, there's an extra spark he likes about being able to play for Brian Flores.
"From him personally, I like the transparency and the energy that he brings to the team," he explained. "Defensively, I love the versatility of it. We talk a lot about the high I.Q. and being a ball player, knowing what you're supposed to do and where you're supposed to be; I appreciate that aspect."
