Former Fort Valley State running back Emanuel Wilson stole the show rushing six times for 111 yards and two touchdowns as the Green Bay Packers defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 36-19 in their preseason opener at Paycor Stadium.  Wilson's performance may be surprising to most, but Wildcat fans witnessed him totaling 1,371 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 24 receptions for a pair of receiving scores in 2022.  

 

The HBCU football star was the 2022 SIAC's Player of the Year (MVP), Offensive Player, and All-Conference team. Aaron Jones and Wilson make a potent tandem in the Green Bay backfield.
