FOXBORO -- Patriots linebacker Mack Wilson has made a position switch look seamless five years into his NFL career as he continues to make plays week after week on a defense that's shining despite the team's 4-11 record. Wilson, 25, started playing the majority of his defensive snaps on the edge, rather than his natural position at off-ball linebacker, after the Patriots’ Week 11 bye. He’s found a new lease on life as an NFL defender with sacks in three consecutive games and 12 total hurries, all of which have come since Week 9.
