Eric Wilson Breaks Down Going Undrafted to $22M & How He Stuck 10 Years in NFL | BOS EP2

Eric Wilson joins Anthony Barr and Eric Kendricks on Bent Outta Shape to discuss his 10-year NFL journey, from undrafted free agent to securing a new three-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings. Fresh off signing his biggest contract, Wilson opens up about his career path through Minnesota, Green Bay, and back to the Vikings—and why US Bank Stadium edges out Lambeau Field. The trio dives into training camp preparation, the importance of mentorship, and Wilson's transition from college party mode to NFL discipline. They compare playing under Mike Zimmer vs. Kevin O'Connell, break down Wilson's passion for cars (including an accidental auction win), and reveal his secret weapon: a fruit-fueled diet and elite versatility across linebacker positions. With training camp around the corner, Wilson shares how he's staying sharp while avoiding burnout—and why he believes loving the game is the key to longevity. Plus: rapid-fire comparisons between the Vikings and the Packers from uniforms to food to stadium atmosphere. 0:00 - Introduction & Welcome 1:35 - Bent Outta Shape: Grocery Prices & Wedding Guest Lists 6:00 - Training Camp Preparation & Mindset 10:01 - Eric Wilson Joins the Show 14:10 - Wilson's Bent Outta Shape: Organic Apples 16:19 - Comparing Vikings & Packers Organizations 21:56 - Wilson's Journey from Undrafted to 10-Year Vet 26:27 - College Days: From Northwestern to Cincinnati 30:06 - Quick Hitters: Stadium, Food & More 34:40 - Car Collection & Accidental Auction Purchase 43:01 - Love of Fruits, Vegetables & Athletic Hobbies 45:57 - Closing #EricWilson #MinnesotaVikings #AnthonyBarr #EricKendricks #NFL #TrainingCamp #BentOuttaShape A GOAT Farm Network Original Series @GOATfarm 👉 Subscribe to our Channel: @BentOuttaShapeShow 🔔 Subscribe & Follow along for weekly episodes!
