Christian Wilkins does not worry about too many things.
For the most part, Clemson’s three-time All-American defensive tackle is confident, laid back and focused on what lies ahead. Though he will be a little nervous tonight as he waits to hear his named called by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in the 2019 NFL Draft, there is one other thing that concerns him.
He does not want to hear Clelin Ferrell’s name said before his.
Why?
Because he knows he will never hear the end of it.
Wilkins and Ferrell, best friends on and off the football field, are both expected to be selected in the first round of tonight’s NFL Draft in Nashville, Tenn.
