  "account": "Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson signed a $75 million extension through 2029, and his strong performance in the second half of last season helped secure the deal. According to reporter James Palmer, it's not just the production that made the coaching staff fall in love with Wilson, but also his consistency and the process he brings to the game. The player is described as \"100 MPH all the time,\" maintaining the same intensity regardless of his role in the play. Wilson has been a vital part of the team's future, and the coaches see potential for him to perform similarly to Puka Nacua, the LA Rams' star receiver. Former Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has always believed Wilson was capable of being a 1,000-yard receiver, and the coaching staff appears very pleased with their decision to draft him.",
