Cedrick Wilson (born December 17, 1978 in Memphis, Tennessee) is a wide receiver in the National Football League. After attending the University of Tennessee, 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 has had considerably less success in the 2005 season. Wilson had become frustrated with his role as the third receiver in a Pittsburgh offense that favors rushing over passing, but has since become accustomed to the Steelers' style of play.

Wilson's breakout for the Steelers came during the 2005 NFL playoffs. Having caught only 26 passes for 461 yards and 0 touchdowns during the regular season, Wilson became a "go to guy" on the Steelers road to Super Bowl XL. In the Steelers' 4 post-season games (including the Super Bowl), Wilson recorded 9 receptions for 216 yards and 2 touchdowns, averaging 24 yards per catch. Handed a starting position in the 2006 season, Wilson promptly reverted to his regular-season form, posting 37 receptions for 504 yards and 1 touchdown, while being outplayed by teammates Santonio Holmes and Nate Washington. After missing his team's Week 14 contest vs. the Cleveland Browns, Wilson was relegated to #4 on the depth chart, relinquishing his starting role to the rookie Holmes.
