While the Las Vegas Raiders dropped their Week 1 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers, the Raiders defense had a strong performance and one of the silver linings from the game was the performance of free-agent signing Christian Wilkins.
According to Pro Football Focus, Wilkins earned an 80.8 grade which was the third-highest on the team’s defense and eighth-best among defensive tackles across the league (pre-Monday Night Football). A big reason for that was he collected four ‘defensive stops’ against the run, tied for the second-most at his position only trailing teammate John Jenkins.
