The most outspoken member of the Buffalo Bills has made the NFL’s Top 100 player list.
Not only is Dion Dawkins the second-most visible Bills player behind Josh Allen, he’s long been one of the steadiest left tackles in football.
The former second round pick — in Sean McDermott’s first year as head coach — began his career at guard before kicking outside to tackle, an unusual career arc for an NFL blocker.
He’s been Buffalo’s starting left tackle since 2018, and has logged over 1,000 snaps (including
the postseason) in eight-consecutive seasons.
Here’s the NFL’s video on Dawkins inclusion in the Top 100 list at No. 57:
Dawkins’ has become one of the better pass protectors in football during the Allen era, and the 2025 campaign marked the first time in his professional career that Dawkins had allowed more the 39 pressures.
Of course during his time as Buffalo’s workhorse protector of Allen’s blind side, Dawkins’ vivacious personality and overt love for Western New York has made him a fan favorite and one of the most fascinating interviews on a local and national level.
While Dawkins dipped from his 2025 ranking of No. 42 in these rankings, he’s absolutely still a top 10-15 offensive tackle who’s been incredibly durable throughout his entire NFL career.
Do you think Dawkins is ranked too high or too low here?
