E.J. Wilson a magnet for freak accidents, injuries

Posted Oct 23, 2008
E.J. Wilson absorbs bone-jarring hits every Saturday for North Carolina, but that's nothing new for him. Wilson, a junior defensive end, had a series of accidents and injuries growing up in Emporia, Va., that gave him a preview of the sometimes violent nature of football. When he looks back, he wonders how he lasted long enough to make it to North Carolina. "I'm just a blessed child," Wilson said, breaking into a big smile. "I've had more lives than a cat."
