In 2019, Wilkins was selected 13th overall by the Miami Dolphins in the NFL Draft. During his time with the Dolphins, he started in 82 out of 86 games and accumulated 355 tackles, 43 tackles for loss, 20.5 sacks, 50 quarterback hits, one interception, four forced fumbles, and six fumble recoveries.
Despite setting a career high of nine sacks in 2023, the Dolphins did not use their franchise tag on Wilkins, making him a free agent.
