Punt75 Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 A rookie from Temple that was supposed to be a back-up guard. He's become an excellent LT and makes injury prone Glenn with his big contract expendable. A great draft pick! He's always celebrating in the end zone after a Bills TD. In the Indy game he was throwing snow at the fans and shoveling snow off the field. After the game the team went to Ilio DiPaolio's Restaurant to celebrate. When an employee left to go home and was stuck in the 15" of snow Dion was the first player out the door to help push her out! A good player, a good team mate and a good man! 7

He definitely wasn't supposed to be a backup guard we traded up to take him in the second round. He was always going to be the swing tackle , RT or backup to Cordy Glenn is hurt so he's been on the left Edited December 14, 2017 by Buffalo716 1

John from Riverside Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 What is kind of interesting here is during draft time a lot of people thought he was a reach because it was not supposed to be a strong draft for OT. The bills took him in the second and traded UP to get him. As it turns out...this was a good call.
The Now Moment Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 If he continues to improve and, he could be a cornerstone of our offensive line moving forward. On the game-winning run by Shady last week, Incognito got all the shine as he made an outstanding block but nobody said anything about what Dawkins did. He sealed the outside defender and pushed him right to the ground helping create that car-sized hole. He's quickly becoming one of my favorite players.

TPS Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 He's quite the character from the videos bb.com has done, kid has a future after football...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 White and Dawkins are fun and talented. Hopefully Buffalo doesn't ruin them.
Chris from Rochester Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 I did notice he's always there celebrating with his teammates. I noticed Wentz participates in team celebrations with the Eagles as well, I like that. I know the two aren't connected really but I like the unity it shows. These are young men having fun and I think that mentality keeps you loose and leads to wins. Agree totally, seems like a great kid on and off the field!
RoyBatty is alive Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 Good post, good story, imagine how easy it would be for a guy that big used to pushing D Lineman pushing a car stuck in snow
JoeF Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 We sat in front of Taylor Moton's mom at the Bills/Panthers game earlier this year. His whole family (Dad, uncle, etc.) were great folks. My son told her he wanted the Bills to draft Taylor. She said, "no y'all got Dion. Dion is my son's favorite from the draft process both in terms of talent and personality". She couldn't say enough good things about the Bills LT.

His play is going to be the main Reason The Bills will try to move Glenn in the offseason

I would guess 4th based on his injuries this year or possibly a 3rd
wppete Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 Great draft pick. Great player and great character. Will be a leader on this team for a long time.
offyourocker Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 Would be hardpressed to find a better candidate to push a car out of the snow haha

TigerJ Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 Dawkins is a keeper. I like Glenn too. I think there is room for both on the team if Glenn can get past his injured foot issue.
