Converted from tight end to tackle two years ago and will need to keep sliding inside as a zone-scheme blocker. His understanding of angles improved rapidly in-season, allowing his athleticism and agility to do their things as a move blocker. He sustains with grip strength and balance, but needs to be on the move and working away from stack-and-shed defenders. His short arms and substandard core strength got him bullied into the pocket by average MAC rushers and there is no guarantee that additional strength and technique work will fix it against pro rushers. He faces an uphill battle, but has developmental potential that could interest zone-scheme teams at either guard or center.
While Wilborn's size and length will be appealing as a box safety, his 2019 safety tape was filled with inconsistent play as he transitioned from linebacker to safety. Wilborn was a much steadier tackler as a linebacker in 2018 and seemed to struggle with downhill angles inside the box in 2019. He exhibits questionable feel for space when tasked with zone coverage, but has some talent dogging routes and playing the football when allowed to play man. The lack of instincts and tackle consistency are hurdles, but he could garner nickel linebacker consideration.
