Touchdown catch, celebratory leap by 310-pound Christian Wilkins gives Dolphins first lead
Defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, listed at 310 pounds, caught a 1-yard pass from Tua Tagovailoa for his second career receiving touchdown. He immediately ran to the back of the end zone and leaped into the stands to celebrate with Dolphins fans before returning to the field.
But he wasn’t done; Wilkins, surrounded by teammates, began break-dancing in the end zone.
The former Clemson product famously celebrates each touchdown with his teammates on the field — a tradition he’s done since his collegiate playing career. He also helped teammate Jaylen Waddle develop the “Waddle” celebration that’s become popular during Miami’s five-game winning streak.
Wilkins’ touchdown gave the Dolphins a 24-17 lead against the Jets in the fourth quarter, as they erased an early 10-0 deficit.
