Wilkins leaving NCCU for pro football

DURHAM, North Carolina -- N.C. Central wide receiver and return specialist Adrian Wilkins declared for the NFL’s supplemental draft Monday, leaving the football program without one of the most integral parts of its offense next season.

Wilkins, a 5-8 175-pound, was not going to be eligible to play for the Eagles for his senior season, coach Jerry Mack said by phone Tuesday.
