Dion Dawkins calls for new NFL award to honor offensive linemen

Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins is advocating for a new NFL award to honor offensive linemen. He believes they deserve recognition similar to that given to quarterbacks and running backs, who often receive the spotlight. Currently, the NFL awards focus on skill positions, with MVP typically going to quarterbacks. Dawkins argues that offensive linemen play a crucial role in the success of these players but lack formal acknowledgment. Dawkins aims to establish a "Protector of the Year" award before his career ends. He highlights the impressive performances of players like Penei Sewell and Tristan Wirfs as deserving of such recognition.
