If it hasn't changed from UA, the racial feat Squat Nimbleness will be a huge boon to dwarf grapplers, giving athletics expertise in a versatile half-feat (+1 to dex, con, or str). So fighter or barbarian builds can now pick up expertise without a rogue or bard dip. Related to that, it'll mean there will be builds with extra attack and expertise by level 5 (one level sooner than previously possible in published material, I believe).
Oh wow, I just read the half-elf/human racial feat Prodigy was changed to give expertise in a skill. So move over dwarves, vhumans will be the fighter and barbarian grappling kings.
Also, from what I hear so far, Cavalier Fighter may make a very interesting grappling tank.
