Christian Wilkins is a lot of things and now that he has three preseason games under his belt, he is emerging as a defensive leader. A player that others go to. Maybe not for advice but for something more important.
Wilkins spoke with the media on Thursday and called leadership “universal”. He was asked about how his confidence is knowing that veterans are leaning on him for things.
That’s definitely big for my confidence and knowing that and just learning that they’re respecting me enough to look to me as a leader – a guy to bring some juice, bring a little bit of energy because that’s what I’m all about.
