Buffalo Bill’s offensive tackling Dion Dawkins wants offensive line men to start getting some recognition.
While the offensive line men have been named the Pro Bowl and the All-Pro teams, there is currently not an offensive linen prize or anything similar.
“Offensive linemen do not have prices for being good. There is not a ‘Protector’ award of the year. I knock on so many doors now to get this award going. Finished before I finish playing,” Dawkins said During his press conference Thursday.

“Because there are so many big ones. So many great. We have amazing quarterbacks, we have great running backs, we have rushing titles, we have quarterback passing titles.
At college level, offensive line men are recognized with several different prices.
Lombardi Award is awarded the best college football of the year, Tight End or Linebacker. This season it was awarded to Texas Longhorn’s left tackle Kelvin Bank’s Jr.
Outland Trophy is given to the best inner liner both on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. Banks also won that award this season.
