Wilkerson did not just play for the Chargers; he was a reliable starter who rarely missed games. As the starting Left Guard for San Diego, Wilkerson was an offensive line anchor for the Chargers' high-octane offense. Wilkerson was a team captain for five years, and from 1980 to 1982, he was named to the Pro Bowl, with a First Team All-Pro Selection coming in '82.
Wilkerson started all of his 195 Games with the Chargers, and he was inducted into the Charger Hall of Fame in 2000.
