The newspaper story, sent by the boy's mother, sat untouched on a table in Earl Campbell's Austin home. He couldn't bear to look, to gaze into the photos and see that face. His wife, Reuna, read the article and she wondered why he wouldn't too.

 he longest Seahawks draft day in two decades was the most important and fulfilling day in Josh Wilson's life.
All because of his dad, Tim Wilson, who died suddenly 11 years ago, but still remains close to his son's heart. On top of it, actually. Seattle's second round draft choice on Saturday, at 55th overall, has a tattoo likeness of his father, the former Houston Oilers' blocking back for Earl Campbell, inked over his heart. The younger Wilson, five-foot-nine with a 40-yard dash time in the low 4.3-second range, also carries a 1981 football card of dad inside his wallet. Always. "Every boy wants to grow up and be just like his dad," Wilson said Saturday night from his family home in Upper Marlboro, Md. His father died of a massive heart attack when Josh was 11. "Everywhere that he walked, I wanted to walk. I went to Maryland, and he went to Maryland. "Now that I get to follow him to the NFL, this is the greatest thing. ... I finally accomplished one of the major goals of my life." |
