Las Vegas Raiders defensive tackle Christian Wilkins said he’s “living his childhood dream” as an NFL player.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas Raiders defensive tackle Christian Wilkins has had a successful NFL career so far, but he’s just getting started.<\/p>\n

The former Miami Dolphin is ready to make new memories with the Silver and Black, an organization he will be hoping can elevate his game.<\/p>\n

With great things ahead, though, Wilkins can still look back on fond memories he has made so far in his NFL career, particularly the ones from early on.<\/p>\n

“Obviously getting drafted, that’s No. 1,” Wilkins said when discussing his favorite NFL moments on a recent episode of the “Third and Long” podcast. “It’s the start, it’s the foundation. Obviously, you don’t forget things like your first career sack. Like obviously, that’s important as a defensive lineman — Nov. 1, 2019, my first career sack.<\/p>\n

” … Our first win of the season, too. It was Week 8. … Things like that, you don’t forget as a player.<\/p>\n

“And really just the journey, though. I know that might sound a little cliche, might sound a little corny, but no, it really is. It’s just about the journey for me. I’m literally living my childhood dream.<\/p>\n

“And I’m in the moment, I’m enjoying every minute of it, the good days the bad days, the tough days, the days where you don’t want to [work]. All of that; it’s just all part of it. I’m literally living out my childhood dream, so I’ve got perspective on that.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes I do get caught up and so locked in and whatever. But it’s good to have perspective, and the journey’s dope.”<\/p>\n

As Wilkins said, to him, the journey is what makes it all worth it. The star defensive tackle is now looking forward to a new chapter in his journey as he nears the day he suits up for an NFL franchise that isn’t Miami.<\/p>\n

Wilkins has many more memories to make, and Raider Nation could not be more excited to watch him do so as a valuable member of their beloved Silver and Black. The new beginning is right around the corner.<\/p>\n
