Dion Dawkins, the left tackle for the Buffalo Bills, is entering his tenth year in the NFL and his ninth year protecting quarterback Josh Allen’s blind spot. Dawkins’ job is not the typical left tackle role, as Allen’s ability to extend plays and scramble around the field makes his job more challenging.
Challenges of Playing with Josh Allen
Allen’s playing style requires Dawkins and his fellow linemen to be constantly on the move, trying to help Allen avoid sacks and make plays. Dawkins described playing with Allen as a ‘gift and a curse,’ as it can be both exciting and frustrating at the same time.
Despite the challenges, Dawkins appreciates the opportunity to play with Allen, who he considers a brother. Dawkins has been with the Bills since 2017 and has earned five straight Pro Bowl selections, making him one of the best left tackles in the NFL.
The combination of Allen and Dawkins is crucial to the Bills’ success, and they will be looking to make a deep playoff run in the upcoming season. Dawkins recently participated in an off-road obstacle course event with Polaris and Call of Duty, where he got to experience the thrill of driving a Polaris RZR.
