One night at “Shotgun Willies” I saw Al Wilson along with a recently released ( for good this time ) Jarious Jackson & a 3rd man who was probably a ( unknown to me ) Broncos player. The 3 of them were at a roped off table & JJ was quite obviously trying to pitch Al Wilson on some sort of financial/business investment that he was drumming up during his now expanded free time. JJ was trying in vain to tractor beam Al Wilson’s attention to him as Al looked over his shoulder at the dancing ladies. I can’t say for sure , but I’m almost certain that no business was ever started up that day on Al Wilson’s dime. To show what a “Mark” I am, Wilson left a half smoked cigar at the Strip Club that night - which I promptly snatched up as a souvenir. It’s gone now but I prob had it for at least 3 years tucked away into a nick back box.
Denver Broncos Archive I just mentioned what I had commented to my wife , up to & including the Cigar I used to have. She made a “face” when I referenced the cigar and quickly the mystery of how it had finally gotten lost/thrown out was solved - she told me she tossed it when we were moving many yrs back. Can’t say I blame her too much , although it would be more justifiable if she even slightly knew who Al Wilson was. I think to her , the story is more about a cigar I brought home from the strip club.
I always download old rosters on madden games and make sure my linebacker I draft is Al Wilson. Dude was a beast. Loved watching him play. So under rated.
I'm a native East Tennessean and obviously I was born a VOL fan. The earliest games I can remember are from the 1984 season, so I've seen a lot of VOL players. Al Wilson is my all time favorite VOL of all time and he is one of the most important VOLS of all time! He is the biggest reason why the 98 team were national champs, he has made some of the most important plays to win games his entire career (college & pro) and had he not had that career ending neck injury he would have for sure made the pro football hall of fame, he may possibly still have a chance to make!! BIG AL, my favorite of all time!! I also love him for remaining a presence at UT! He has the heart of a lion and a champion!! I love BIG AL!!!!
Met Al Wilson at a charity golf outing in 2013 here in Florida. Really nice guy when not on the field. He signed a hat for me and had a pic taken. John Mobley hosted the event in memory of his Dad. Also present were Terrell Davis, Mobley and David Eckstein (baseball)
One of my football heros, him, Champ, DJ and John Lynch made an incredible defence to watch. Just really a shame none of them won a super bowl with the broncos.
I think if it weren't for his injury, we'd be talking about Al Wilson being Canton bound. I really believe that, coming from a Ravens fan he was stellar.
He is easily the most underrated MLB of all time. Wilson was legit. I’m not saying he’s Ray but he wasn’t far off. Standard old school MLB That aren’t cut like that anymore.
I'd put Al with Simon Fletcher as the most underrated Broncos of all time. Maybe because of the career ending neck injury, the time/era (99-06) he played, or because nothing crazy ever stood out. But he's easily the best Broncos MLB in my opinion. Going back to '85 since I've been a fan anyway.
yea these new rules are completely bogus. literally everyone hates them. touch a quarterback and you get a roughing the passer call, then the next play the QB will run it like a LB.... it makes no sense. football is about these jocks smashing in to each other.

Holy shit u had Al Wilson’s cigar? That’s actually badass

Zen Of Tupac 😂 that is classic. It’s a damn shame she threw it out but aye that makes a for a funny and memorable story👌🏽
Al Wilson, Ian Gold amd DJ Williams ‼️ We had a crazy LB core.
Fastest crew ever
One of my favorite Broncos/Linebackers of all time. Underrated is an understatement.
Been waiting for this one. Wilson was underrated AF
Indeed he was.
He was just as good as ray
Al Wilson gave himself up to the tune of a broken neck,Smallish for a middle linebacker he gave his heart and soul in the trenches Salute Al Wilson
245 pounds covering Marshall Faulk 30 yards downfield and making the interception. Most underrated MLB ever after Randy Gradishar.
Dude was a beast, I still miss him, have his Jersey...I have the hit on Marshall Faulk on a VCR tape💪🏽
I need to find that hit on Faulk
Al Wilson blanketing Faulk for the deep interception was beautiful
He was of the best in his prime
💯
He is a Tennessee legend and was phenomenal as a Bronco, too. Orange looked good on him.
I always download old rosters on madden games and make sure my linebacker I draft is Al Wilson. Dude was a beast. Loved watching him play. So under rated.
I still can't believe he hasn't been inducted into the Broncos' ROF. If his career had been longer, we'd likely be talking HOF.
Al was a hitter

I am in west Tennessee. Live near Al and see him in Jackson all the time. Still looking good and like he could play tomorrow.
I believe it!!

Not a single mlb has been as good since we were graced with his presents.
GO BRONCOS!!!
Agreed but Al Wilson set that Bar pretty high
Presence
Hopefully Alexander Johnson is the next one
Super underrated af top 5 favorite bronco hands down
My fav linebacker ever. Part of the fastest LB crew ever! Wilson ALWAYS laid the pipe!
laid the pipe wtf... you mean laying wood
pause
No diddy 😑😑😑
@@mikeg2470 yeah like wood is any better lol!! Piping is heavier than wood. So there ya go.
One of my football heros, him, Champ, DJ and John Lynch made an incredible defence to watch. Just really a shame none of them won a super bowl with the broncos.
How have I never heard of this man
Huh
The Wheatley and Williams tackles are my favorite by Wilson.

@@TheJohnnystockman facts!
One of my fav all time players.
Extremely Underrated.
Facts
The Rams game at 4:35 was an awesome game. One of the only losses I’d gladly watch multiple times.
Miss that dude..beast!!
Miss my guy! He was a beast! Glad he patched it up with the organization!
Man, it’s a shame Al Wilson didn’t walk away from the game with a title.
One Of the best...
Just HOW do people forget about this guy?
Im a ravens fan but loved watching Al Wilson play!
He played for the Broncos at the wrong time period between 1998 and 2015
Hes good enough to get talks of HOF
True but ion think he'll get in based on his stats alone. During his time he got overshadowed by Ray Lewis brian Urlacher and derrick Brooks
Man
Al wilson
Mobley
Romanowski
Man I miss al wilson
lol i love how he was like "look at this guy" to his teammate when brady came at him.
I'd put Al with Simon Fletcher as the most underrated Broncos of all time. Maybe because of the career ending neck injury, the time/era (99-06) he played, or because nothing crazy ever stood out. But he's easily the best Broncos MLB in my opinion. Going back to '85 since I've been a fan anyway.
I miss Wilson, Romo, Mobley, Gold and Williams but thank god we draft or get amazing talent at the LB position. Von was the Greatest ^-^
This dude! Holy shit
I felt like i died when he had to quit playing. 💯
Oh yeah!! Luv me some Wilson!!
05:40 is just amazing
2:09 Lol💯💯
That first clip is fucking badass.
Al Wilson was fast af
Denver has a pedigree for great Inside LB from Randy Gradishar, Karl Meclenburg to Al Wilson who is next ?
Dream Bronco linebacker corp: Mike - Al Wilson, Jack - Bill Romonowski, Will - Karl Mecklenburg, Sam - Von Miller.
Reuben foster needs to model his game after this guy !
I’m a raiders fan but holy shit this guy is insane
i haven’t seen a linebacker like that since Bill Romanowski
@@jumpybowl4743 romanowski was above average
Do you have one on Nick Ferguson? Enjoy your vids btw. :)
Sorry man right now I’ve kinda stopped making videos. Maybe one day I’ll return tho. If I do, Nick Ferguson will be on the top of the list
You can ask a lot of Tennessee fans who their favorite player is, and a lot of them will tell you Al Wilson over Peyton Manning.
I want highligjts over john mobly or bill romanouski 3 all time best linebackers in denver
My dawg! Came up together.. #Jtown
Fucking beast
Does anyone have video of Al Wilson destroying Ladanian Tomlinson up the middle? I remember it vividly...very vividly and I can't find it anywhere
Do you remember what year it’s from?
Show this to strnad and jewel
Always be my favorite player and when I played madden I didn't give shit I always got him first
Al Wilson John Mobley Ian gold best 3 linebackers in nfl at time
The last great Broncos MLB
Yes please show dj Williams 55 respect and Mike Anderson
DJ williams as well
Just as good as ray lewis if not better.
Better than Ray.
In today's weak ass NFL, the hit at 0:50 would easily be an unnecessary roughness call.
yea these new rules are completely bogus. literally everyone hates them. touch a quarterback and you get a roughing the passer call, then the next play the QB will run it like a LB.... it makes no sense. football is about these jocks smashing in to each other.
Rzn I wore 56 da country payp🔷🔶🔷
Al Wilson was von miller, before von miller.
VFL
How the hell is this legal😂😂
