Rodgers: Wilkerson a 'Strong Leader'
Chan Gailey, Kacy Rodgers & Bobby April Met with the Media on Thursday
Since the start of the 2013 season, Jets DE Muhammad Wilkerson has racked up 23.5 sacks in 38 games. Wilkerson, who collected two sacks of Tyrod Taylor in Week 10, leads the Green & White with seven.
“I didn’t realize how good he actually is. To being able to see him work every day, he is a tremendous talent,” said defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers of Wilkerson. “And the thing is he comes across as quiet, but he is a leader over there. He’s always, ‘What can I do? Do I need to do more? What do we need to do?’ He is a really good player, really a strong leader for us.”
