Gibril Donald Wilson (born November 12, 1981) is a former American football safety in the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the New York Giants in the fifth round of the 2004 NFL Draft. He played college football at Tennessee.
Wilson earned a Super Bowl ring with the Giants in Super Bowl XLII. He has also played for the Oakland Raiders and Miami Dolphins.
Wilson was born in Freetown, Sierra Leone and moved to the U.S. at age five. Although Wilson excelled in football as both a wide receiver and defensive back at Oak Grove High School, he drew little attention from any Division I schools. He initially attended City College of San Francisco, and two years later was the top recruited junior college safety, choosing Tennessee over USC, Oregon and Florida.
He was drafted by the New York Giants in the fifth round of the 2004 NFL Draft, with whom he later won Super Bowl XLII, knocking down Tom Brady's last desperation pass to Randy Moss. His team beat the New England Patriots in that game. In his four years with the team, he started 51 of 52 games, recording 360 tackles, six sacks, and 11 interceptions.
