Leadership Award: Christian Wilkins, Hunter Renfrow

To me, there aren’t two better leaders than Christian Wilkins on the defensive side of the ball and Hunter Renfrow on the offensive side of the ball.

The two guys lead in different ways, but they are certainly two of the unquestioned captains on this team.

Wilkins earned the Leadership Award particularly when he decided to take freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence out to breakfast following Lawrence being named the starter and Kelly Bryant leaving. He’s also the first guy off the sideline to celebrate after each touchdown.

Hunter Renfrow isn’t quite as vocal in his leadership, but he does an excellent job being that steady rock that the offense needs.
