[edit] NFL career
In 2004, Wilson openly admitted that he wanted to leave the struggling Cardinal organization. Wilson, in his record breaking season in 2005 did not get an invitation to the pro bowl, this angered many Cardinal faithfuls, because Roy Williams had made it over Wilson, and Williams had been consistently beat by Tight Ends and receivers all season. This year however, Wilson's talents have earned him a trip to the coveted Pro Bowl in Honolulu after he had argubly his best season.
In 2007, a video appeared on Youtube of Adrian jumping over a bar 66 inches above the ground. This provoked a deluge of responses by users of the site.
