DT Christian Wilkins

(We were talking about ending this season with an exclamation point, especially after how you guys started. What was that like?) – “It’s definitely the way you want to finish, being able to go on the road into a tough environment against the champs and get a win. We talked about it all week – that’s what we were going up there to do and I’m glad we were able to do that. It’s encouraging definitely for years to come. That’s definitely the beginning of what we want to do here.”

(How have guys bought into what Head Coach Brian Flores has been giving you guys this year?) – “I feel like guys definitely started believing in him and his vision. We got a good bunch of guys in this locker room who are good, tough hard workers who want to be the best for themselves and for this team and for this organization.”

(How would you describe what the win yesterday did for you guys in terms of sending you into the offseason on a good note?) – “You always want – The way the season has gone, we know we’re not going to make the playoffs, but you want to finish strong and we were able to do that. Against the Patriots, that definitely feels good and it’s encouraging for our future for sure.”

(Your assessment of your rookie season – are you please with what you’ve put on tape?) – “I’m never pleased. Even if I had the greatest rookie season of rookie seasons, I’m never going to be satisfied. But I’m definitely encouraged by a lot of things I’ve done this year. I feel like I belong in this league and I could play at a high level in this league, so I’m definitely looking forward to Year 2 and hopefully years after that.”

(Here’s a key question: has the trash talking between you and DT Davon Godchaux started yet about the LSU-Clemson College Football Playoff National Championship game?) – “No, not yet. I think he knows better. (laughter) I’m just kidding. It’s going to definitely come. He likes to run his mouth. He loves him some LSU and I love me some Clemson, so the trash talk is definitely going to be there.”

(Any expectations for next year?) – “Not really. Not yet. I definitely want to – it’s just the beginning of the end of the year, so I definitely want to take some time to get away. Then I’ll get time to reflect and make some goals and things like that for myself and for the team.”

(Has you relationship with Head Coach Brian Flores changed from the start of the year until now?) – “I feel like me and him have a better understanding of each other like any relationship when you’re around each other a lot. You get to learn and know things about each other. You get to learn some things about each other and just grow. That’s kind of where our relationship is. I’ve got a lot of respect for him and I feel like he has a lot of respect for me. We have a good, strong working relationship.”

(Are you planning on attending the game, the national title game?) – “Absolutely. I can’t wait to go see my guys down in New Orleans. I’m really excited and looking forward to it. I think it’s going to be a good game.”
