Christian Wilkins says getting a Clemson guy is just different than anyone else an NFL team can select.
Wilkins, along with his former defensive line teammates Clelin Ferrell and Dexter Lawrence, are expected to be chosen in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, which starts on April 25 in Nashville, Tenn. In all, at least 10 former Tigers are expected to be drafted on the days of April 25-27, which would tie a Clemson record set from the 1983’s draft.
“You get guys who are talented on the field and who are going to be able to contribute and do their thing on the field, but also you are getting great people and people who can improve your organization and make those around them better,” Wilkins said in a podcast to ESPN’s Adam Schefter recently.
