Gerris Wilkinson (born April 5, 1983 in Oakland, California) is a current American football linebacker for the New York Giants. He was one of the last players drafted in the third round of the 2006 NFL Draft. He played college football at Georgia Tech.
The coaching staff has high hopes for Wilkinson. They feel that he has the versatility to play both the inside and outside linebacker positions. They hope within a few seasons he will start on a young and growing defense that now features pro-bowlers Michael Strahan and Antonio Pierce and promising young talent like Osi Umenyiora and Mathias Kiwanuka.
