The Buffalo Bills gave left tackle Dion Dawkins a three-year, $60 million extension back in March, and it was well-deserved.
The former second-round pick allowed just one sack in 2023, and was one of the best and most consistent pass blockers in the NFL. On top of getting paid, Dawkins cracked the NFL Top 100 players list, ranking No. 96. The first 10 players of the Top 100 are as follows:
- 100: LB Zaire Franklin, Indianapolis Colts
- 99: LB Lavonte David, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- 98: DT Cameron Heyward, Pittsburgh Steelers
- 97: WR Terry McLaurin, Washington Commanders
- 96: LT Dion Dawkins, Buffalo Bills
- 95: S Julian Love, Seattle Seahawks
- 94: QB Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars
- 93: S Harrison Smith, Minnesota Vikings
- 92: QB Aaron Rodgers, New York Jets
- 91: CB Tariq Woolen, Seattle Seahawks
Dawkins has been pivotal for the offense’s success, giving Josh Allen enough time to do Josh Allen things. That consistency will be instrumental to the Bills’ success going forward.
