Wilkins signed with a smile on his face
The Miami Dolphins selected former Clemson Tigers defensive tackle Christian Wilkins with the No. 13 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft and we all remember him as a man who almost took Commissioner Roger Goodell to ground during the celebration. Wilkins signed his first pro contract with the Dolphins and was quite happy with it.

Top offenses of the 2019 campaign
Chris Wesseling picks out the top 10 offenses of the upcoming season and it’s interesting that he omitted Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots from the list and here you can see Wesseling’s selection. You will probably not be surprised with his top pick, though.
Defenses beware. Could these be the top 10 offenses of 2019? 🤔 (via @ChrisWesseling) pic.twitter.com/phWTwT1Cwd
