Cedrick Wilson (born December 17, 1978) is a former American football wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL). He was originally drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the sixth round of the 2001 NFL Draft. He was picked up by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2005. Wilson earned a Super Bowl ring with the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XL, beating the Seattle Seahawks. With that achievement, he became one of very few football players to earn a championship ring at all three levels of football - high school, college, and professional. He played college football at Tennessee where he converted to wide receiver from quarterback and earned a National Championship ring in the 1998 Fiesta Bowl defeating Florida State 23-16, topping off an undefeated season, 13-0. He played high school football at Melrose High School in Memphis Tennessee where he earned a State Championship ring in 1996 as the starting quarterback topping off a 12-3 record. In high school, he was teammates with Kindal Moorehead who also made it to the NFL and played for the Carolina Panthers and the Atlanta Falcons.
He was drafted with the sixth pick of the sixth round of the 2001 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. After being used primarily as a kick returner in 2001, Wilson's role in the San Francisco offense expanded throughout the next three seasons, and Wilson posted career highs in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns in 2004.
On March 8, 2005, Wilson signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers and had considerably less success in the 2005 regular season.
