Is there anything more fun in football than a Fat Guy Touchdown? Of course not. Modern offensive coordinators must agree, because through the first 15 weeks of the 2019 season, six different players weighing over 300 pounds have scored touchdowns. This included two in Week 15 — Buffalo offensive tackle Dion Dawkins against the Patriots on Saturday, and Miami defensive tackle Christian Wilkins against the Bengals on Sunday.

Wilkins, who played everything from defensive tackle to defensive end to fullback, halfback and receiver at Clemson, became the first rookie big guy to score a touchdown since William “The Refrigerator” Perry for the Bears in 1985. Perry also went to Clemson, so maybe it’s something in the water.

All we can ask? More of this in the playoffs.
