  Giants | Gerris Wilkinson looking forward to next season    Fri Jun 4, 08:13 PM

New York Giants LB Gerris Wilkinson is looking forward to competing for the starting middle linebacker job, reports Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News. Wilkinson said he believes that once he gets on the field, he is "going to surprise a lot of people this year." Wilkinson also feels that switching to middle linebacker could spark his career. Wilkinson added, "I mean, it's been a pretty rocky road for me so far. But I feel like I've never been so excited and so focused going into a season. I've had a lot of time to get my feet on the ground in terms of being in the NFL, being with the Giants. So I'm very, very ready for this season."

Footballguys view: Wilkinson is part of a free-for-all at MLB for the Giants, which includes Bryan Kehl, Chase Blackburn, Jonathan Goff, and fourth-round pick Philip Dillard. The strong-side spot and one spot in the nickel is also open, so there is a some IDP opportunity this summer for Wilkinson and his competitors.
