NFL world blatantly disrespects Bills' three-time Pro Bowler in Top 100 rankings

Typically, you'd expect players to respect other good players, but that doesn't seem to be the case for Bills' offensive lineman and three-time Pro Bowler Dion Dawkins, who was ranked staggeringly low in the NFL Top-100 rankings.

Dawkins, who slotted in at No. 96, deserves to be much higher on the list.

Dion Dawkins deserves more love as one of the best tackles in the NFL

We know that the personality of Dawkins shines through, but he's is also one of the best offensive tackles in the game. It's time that he starts getting treated like one.

Of tackles to have at least 500 pass blocking reps in the regular season, only five gave up only 1 sack. Dawkins is a part of that elite group. Moreso, of left tackles with at least 300 pass blocking reps, Dawkins had the third-lowest pressure rate in the NFL at 6.9%.

His truly elite season was a part of OL coach Aaron Kromer's masterpiece of a season, where the unit as a whole saw their quarterback sacked at the lowest percentage of any team in the NFL at only 3.86% of their dropbacks.

Dawkins was rewarded with a new contract for his elite 2023 season

Buffalo clearly values Dawkins as the anchor to the left side of the line, even if the rest of the league hasn't caught up. Earlier this offseason, Brandon Beane rewarded Dawkins for his efforts with a three-year, $60 million extension, making him the eighth-highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL.

With some changes coming to the interior of the offensive line , Dawkins will continue to provide stability and anchor Josh Allen's blindside for years to come.

So, in short – no, the NFL Top-100 did not get this one right. Dawkins has proven time and time again to be one of the best tackles in the league, and the rest of the league needs to catch up to this information.
