A truly dominant season it has been for Wilkins
By: Staff Report January 12, 2023

Christian Wilkins’ fourth NFL campaign has been a truly dominant one.

The former Clemson defensive lineman was all over the field making tackles every week and racked up nearly 100 of them over the course of the 2022 NFL regular season, helping his Miami Dolphins team make the playoffs in the process.

Wilkins recorded six tackles in the Dolphins’ win over the New York Jets this past Sunday, bringing his season total to 98 across 17 games.

Those 98 tackles are the most of any defensive tackle in the NFL during the 2022 regular season, and by far — DeForest Buckner of the Indianapolis Colts and Cameron Heyward of the Pittsburgh Steelers are tied for second among DTs in tackles with 74 apiece.

To put his incredible production into perspective, Wilkins’ 98 tackles are the most by an NFL defensive lineman since 1994.

It’s certainly been an impressive season for Wilkins, and it’s not over yet. He and the Dolphins will take on the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Wild Card Playoffs this Sunday at the Bills’ Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y. (1 p.m., CBS).
