Toward the end of the 2019 NFL Draft’s first round on Thursday, Christian Wilkins’ infectious personality was on full display for anyone watching ABC’s draft coverage.

The Clemson defensive tackle was taken by the Miami Dolphins with the 13th overall pick earlier in the night.

During an interview on ABC, the topic of Wilkins’ versatility was brought up.
