Clemson Football: Christian Wilkins is working as a substitute teacher

Clemson football defensive lineman Christian Wilkins shocked the world when he announced that he was coming back for one more season.

Wilkins had already earned his bachelor’s degree- in just two and a half years- and was destined to be either a first or second round draft pick in this coming NFL Draft.

Although the “grade” he got was a second round grade, we all know that he would’ve gone in the first round. With his talent, football IQ, and leadership ability, there’s just no way he would’ve been passed on as a first-rounder.

That being said, he decided to come back and play one more season for Clemson football.
