In this day and age of college football where players are skipping bowl games to prepare for the draft and being extra cautious with injuries to protect themselves for their futures, Christian Wilkins’ mindset is the opposite.
Wilkins could be a first-round pick in the 2019 NFL draft after opting to return to school for his senior season, but right now the defensive tackle is focused only on helping Clemson win games in any way that he can.
Wilkins is the heart and soul of Clemson’s defense and has recorded 27 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss and two sacks through the first eight games of 2018.
