Dolphins rookie WR shows off wild amount of swag he received as a newcomer
Former Michigan and Northwestern wide receiver A.J. Henning didn't hear his name called during the 2025 NFL draft, but he didn't have to wait long to find a home with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted signee.
And although he'll have to fight for a spot on the roster in camp, he won't be leaving empty handed, regardless.
In a TikTok, Henning showed off the mind-blowing amount of swag that newcomers receive when they sign with the Dolphins:
By our count, (and without getting too specific) that's four pairs of shoes, 25 shirts, six sweatshirts, five pairs of pants, two pairs of shorts, and four hats. That's a haul that would cost a fan hundreds.
Henning will have his work cut out for him to make the Dolphins' roster. Barring a significant surprise, four roster spots at receiver will be reserved for Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, and Malik Washington. The battle for the other spot or two will be between Andrew Armstrong, Monaray Baldwin, Tarik Black, Dee Eskridge, Erik Ezukanma, Tahj Washington, Theo Wease Jr., and Henning.

‘I'm a dawg.' New edge rusher Matthew Judon on what he brings to Dolphins
New Miami Dolphins edge rusher Matthew Judon had quite the response when asked how he went from Division II to 72 career sacks. Said Judson: 'I'm a dawg, boy.' Judon practiced in the aqua and orange for the first time on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after the Dolphins officially announced they signed the 33-year-old edge rusher. The four-time Pro Bowler joins a group that already includes Bradley Chubb, Jaelan Phillips and Chop Robinson, making it one of the deepest units on the team. Despite being the most experienced on the team, he's not going to be the Alpha from Day 1. 'I know of got to follow the lead of the guys that have been here,' Judon said. 'JP, Chubb — they also have a body of work that they put on tape. From afar, I've been watching those guys and we kind of know each other off the field. I think that's a big thing: I don't have to come in here and the guy that away.' In Miami, Judon saw 'a good opportunity, a good situation' despite the wealth of edge rushers. 'I could've wanted to sign seven weeks ago when I was an unrestricted free agent but it ain't up to me,' Judon said. 'The Dolphins saw a fit and saw that I could come and make this team better and that's what I'm here to do.' Judon's addition goes along with the mantra that defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver has maintained since training camp began: a good pass rush can negate a lack of experience on the back end. It was a philosophy the team appeared to adopt following the late-June trade of three-time All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey to the Pittsburgh Steelers and the investment of the defensive trenches during the 2025 NFL Draft. 'Ask the 2012 Giants,' Weaver said Tuesday, referring to the New York Giants team that won Super Bowl 46 in 2012 in large part due to its elite pass rush. 'Osi [Umenyiora], Jason Pierre-Paul, Justin Tuck — a wealth of edges who can rush. Then we have guys who can not only rush from the edge, but can produce inside as well. I think when you pair that with Zach Sieler and Kenneth Grant and some of the guys that we have, it's really exciting for us to think about the potential mismatches we can create for offenses.' Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick further expressed his love for the move, imploring the Dolphins to 'bring as many of them as we can get.' 'I'm a DB and I'm not afraid to admit that great defense starts with the front seven, and that starts with smashing the run game and affecting the quarterback,' Fitzpatrick said Tuesday. 'When you've got guys that can send heat at the quarterback, whether it's off the edge or up the middle and disrupt that quarterback's timing and disrupt that quarterback's look, now instead of looking down the field at us, he's looking at the front seven during his drop. That helps us make a lot of plays.' Judon himself was no stranger to making plays either, recording at least two sacks during his first practice. And while fans will be hungry for a Judon-Phillips-Robinson-Chubb package, the 10-year veteran urged caution on the potential of the quartet. 'You can't game plan nobody,' Judon said, initially praising the other three edge rushers as well as defensive tackle Zach Sieler before referring to the group as 'untapped potential.' 'We can talk about,' Judon continued. 'It could look good on paper but right now we have to go out there and put the work in. Everybody, collectively. Then we have to understand how we all rush together.'

Man Tries To Make Presentation, Cat Decides 'It's Her Time To Shine'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The moment a cat took over during her owner's practice presentation for school left viewers in stitches. An August 16 TikTok video posted by user @kayboltsmith showed a husband, Nathan Smith, standing in front of the camera with his wife, Kayla, sitting on a padded table. Nathan needed to film a presentation for his physical therapy program and used Kayla as his patient. But with a "needy kitten" in the house, those plans got interrupted. In the midst of recording his presentation, the couple's cat, Bee, began circling around the table. Their mouths dropped when she hopped up. Trying to keep the laughter in, Kayla used her hand to cover her mouth. Knowing there could be distractions as a physical therapist, the show went on and Nathan continued to present. Meanwhile, Bee climbed over Kayla and made herself comfortable. The text on the video read: "It's her time to shine." The couple lost it when the cat began cleaning herself, angling herself perfectly in the frame. Kayla told Newsweek via TikTok that the cat's interruption went on for about five minutes before her husband finally picked Bee up and shooed her off-screen. Screenshots from an August 16 TikTok video of a couple's cat interrupting the husband's recorded presentation for physical therapy school. Screenshots from an August 16 TikTok video of a couple's cat interrupting the husband's recorded presentation for physical therapy school. @kayboltsmith/TikTok "We were not surprised as Bee is a needy kitten who always likes to be with us when we are doing something," she said. "This was our first PT video we had to make since adopting her so I knew something was about to happen!" Luckily, Nathan was not presenting live. He had the option to rerecord, but decided this version would work. "He said his professor is chill and will likely find it funny," she said. Viewer Reactions People are obsessed with the cat's interest in the couple's activities, and as of Wednesday, the TikTok video reached over 27,800 views and 5,839 likes. "She just wanted to be involved," a viewer wrote, while a second person commented: "No, but I wish my PT's office had a cat." Another added: "I would be giving bonus points for the cat assisting." Many laughed at how Nathan "scooped her up" after she made herself comfortable on the table and others wondered what grade he received. Kayla responded: "I told him he's gonna get points off for twisting her spine. Bad PT." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
