Jets’ top pick Wilson hits the Citi

Kyle Wilson already seems to be a perfect fit for Rex Ryan’s Jets despite the crowd in their defensive backfield.

Wilson, the Jets’ first pick (29th overall) in last week’s NFL Draft, combines the two traits Ryan likes in players — a good work ethic and fearlessness. Wilson is a lunch-pail type of player who isn’t afraid of the big-city glare. He’s a first-round pick with the attitude of an undrafted free agent.

“I know nothing’s handed to me,” Wilson said at Citi Field before last night’s game between the Mets and Braves. “I’m just looking for the opportunity to go out there and make plays and fight for a spot. However much playing time I get is how much I earn.”

FANECA ‘UPSET’ WITH JETS

That humility could have something to do with the fact Wilson, a good cover corner with good tackling skills and a nose for the ball, is joining a secondary that features Darrelle Revis, a two-time Pro Bowler, and recently acquired Antonio Cromartie, a 2007 Pro Bowl selection.

Wilson said he’s excited to work with Revis.

“I’m looking forward to that,” said the Piscataway, N.J., native. “I’m sure once I see him I’ll be latching on to him and soaking in everything I can from the guy.”

Wilson’s approach also could be the result of five years at Boise State, a team he helped crack the top 10 and become a force on the national stage, but which had to earn every ounce of respect along the way.

Wherever it comes from, Wilson is ready to contribute — in nickel packages, on special teams, wherever — to a team that is a strong contender to make another deep run in 2010-11 after reaching the AFC Championship game last season.

“I like the honesty from the organization, and I look forward to earning a spot on the defense,” Wilson said. “I just fit in well with what they’re all about, their personality as a team and organization, and that really showed in my visit. It was the best visit I ever had and [this] is where I wanted to go, and I’m just happy and excited.”
