Las Vegas Raiders defensive tackle Christian Wilkins talked about the importance of competing, and said he and defensive end Maxx Crosby are happy to set the tone.
The Las Vegas Raiders have two of the best defensive linemen in the NFL: defensive end Maxx Crosby and defensive tackle Christian Wilkins.
Las Vegas began mandatory minicamp yesterday and wrapped up OTAs last week. So far, Crosby and Wilkins are leading the way, competing and expressing intensity, trying to inspire the rest of their teammates to match their energy level. “We definitely have been getting after it pretty good,” he said. “It’s just been a lot of fun, truly. There’s not a day you can’t bring it. I already tried to be like that, but it’s even more when those young guys are coming after you. It’s just that energy. So, you have to kind of lead the pack and let everybody know it gets chippy. We talk a little trash; it’s fun. It’s all good, fun competition, and it’s cool, and I embrace all of that. It just makes it a lot of fun to come to work.
It is difficult to match Crosby’s energy, as Crosby constantly reiterates he is one of the most intense players on the team. If anyone can come close, Wilkins, who is known for his fiery personality, has the best chance.
