FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Muhammad Wilkerson - like most of his New York Jets teammates - will strap on a pair of oversize headphones before Sunday's game against the Eagles and turn up the volume. The former Temple standout will play his preferred track: "Big Dreams" by North Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill.
"Ever watch a dream manifest? There's nothing like it," says the song's introduction.
Wilkerson's dream started in Linden, N.J. It carried him to a Virginia prep school and then three seasons at Temple. The kid who left high school with a lone scholarship offer blossomed into a first-round NFL pick.
