Perhaps Mack Wilson's son is meant to be an NFL football player. How much more of a pure football story would it be if the NFL linebacker's young son also ended up playing for the New England Patriots?

It's a Hollywood story in the making. and it all started with a first step.

Perhaps Wilson's son will grow up to be a linebacker for the Patriots just like him. He clearly has a knack for the gridiron and football is in his blood, after all.

Wilson was taken in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns in the 2015 draft and was traded to the Patriots this offseason for defensive lineman Chase Winovich -- a former third-rounder. His college career took place at Alabama, where he was a second-team All-SEC middle linebacker who notched 71 tackles and six interceptions in three seasons.
