  Wilson played college football at the University of Georgia. As a sophomore, he started for the Bulldogs as a defensive tackle as the Bulldogs went 6-6. In 1975 as a junior he was switched to offense and became the Bulldogs' starting left tackle as the team went 9-3. In 1976 as a senior he remained a starter as Georgia went 10-2 and won the Southeastern Conference championship. His nickname was "Moonpie."
  
  He was chosen in the fourth round (103rd overall) of the 1977 NFL Draft. However, he signed with the CFL's Argonauts for the 1977 season. He had an outstanding season, as he was named runner-up for the CFL Outstanding Lineman Award and he was named an All-Canadian All-Star.
  
  His first NFL season was with the Bengals in 1978, and he made an immediate impact, starting eight of the nine games he played on his way to becoming a perennial starter. For each of his next seven seasons with the Bengals, he did not miss a game, starting all but one.
  
  Wilson helped lead the Bengals to the Super Bowl XVI in 1982. He was with the Bengals for eight seasons, from 1978 through 1985.
  
  He then played for the Seahawks for four seasons, joining them in 1986 and starting all 16 games. In his final three NFL seasons, he played 12, 16, and 16 games, starting them all through the 1989, the final season of his 12-year NFL career.
