NFL teams sign new players all the time. The bottom portions of rosters are always shifting.

But sometimes, an interesting detail catches the eye. That's what happened when the Buffalo Bills signed Morgan Fox to the practice squad on Wednesday.

Fox is a 6-foot-3 defensive end who has played in 120 NFL games and recorded 27.5 sacks. Not a bad addition.

But tucked into the information packet the Bills put out on Fox was this:

"Co-owner of a French bulldog named Winston, who competed in numerous shows. He won Best in Show by the American Kennel Club at the 2022 National Dog Show."

Well that's pretty darn cool.

Here's Winston:

Winston was 3 years old when he took home the national title.

"He is a show dog with personality and beauty and a perfect fit for the breed," said Vicki Seiler-Cushman, the best in show judge, in a statement when Winston won. "He has a razzle dazzle that says, 'I am here to win tonight.'"

According to Oregon Public Broadcasting, Fox helped raise Winston as a puppy, and during the show, an announcer said that Winston "runs like a little linebacker."

Does any of that matter to Fox's NFL career and chances of helping the Bills? Probably not.

But it's awesome.
