Las Vegas Raiders sign WR Kristian Wilkerson
Announced on Monday, the Las Vegas Raiders sign WR Kristian Wilkerson. In September of 2020, Wilkerson joined the Patriots practice squad after entering the league as an undrafted free agent with the Tennessee Titans. From 2020 to 2021, he played in four games for New England and had four receptions for 42 yards and two touchdowns.
Due to an injury, Wilkerson was sidelined in the 2022 NFL Season. After New England released him in February, he was claimed by the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts then released him the next month.
The Memphis, Tennessee native spent four seasons at Southeast Missouri State, where he caught 219 receptions for 3,540 yards and 33 touchdowns across 43 games played and started. Wilkerson finished his collegiate career with the program’s most receptions, yards, and touchdowns.
As the Las Vegas Raiders sign WR Kristian Wilkerson, the Silver and Black once again acquire another ex-Patriots wide receiver to add onto their roster.
