Dion Dawkins is entering Year 10 as the left tackle for the Buffalo Bills, but more importantly, his ninth campaign protecting quarterback Josh Allen\u2019s<\/a> blind spot.<\/p>\n

But Dawkins\u2019 job description isn\u2019t your quintessential left tackle “block-anything-that-tries-to-enter-your-pocket” situation. Allen, the 2025 NFL<\/a> MVP, is the cause of that.<\/p>\n

Allen is making highlight-reel plays by the week with his ability to keep plays that should result in a sack alive, scrambling his way around the field, sometimes running sideline to sideline, just to pick up positive yardage.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s thankless most of the time, but Dawkins and his linemates are running around trying to help Allen at the same time. So, how exactly does Dawkins feel heading into his ninth year with Allen as the man under center?<\/p>\n

“People think playing for Josh Allen is the best thing in the world \u2013 it f—ing sucks. All right? It absolutely sucks,” Dawkins told Fox News Digital at Fanatics Fest after riding through an off-road obstacle course outside the Javits Center in New York City<\/a> as part of Polaris\u2019 and Call of Duty\u2019s activation for the fan event.<\/p>\n

Obviously, Dawkins is being very sarcastic here, but that\u2019s the type of relationship these two share. It\u2019s more than just being teammates \u2013 it\u2019s a brotherhood.<\/p>\n

JOSH ALLEN SAYS HE WOULD BE ‘VERY HONORED’ TO PLAY FOR TEAM USA IN FLAG FOOTBALL AT 2028 OLYMPICS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Dawkins, older by two years, has the role of protective big brother, which also means cracking jokes.<\/p>\n

“Josh is here and there and you gotta know where he is at all times,” he continued. “But the best thing about having Josh, when you\u2019ve played with him for so long \u2013 not that I birthed Josh. But I birthed Josh. I was in there with Tyrod Taylor and then here comes Josh. So, me knowing how Josh moves and how he flows, it\u2019s been great.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a gift and a curse because you don\u2019t know where he is. But what I always say, it\u2019s more of a gift than a curse. Sometimes, you don\u2019t know where he is, but Josh will get you out of trouble more than we\u2019ll get him in, and I appreciate him.”<\/p>\n

The entire city of Buffalo appreciates the hustle, determination, and at times, acrobatics that Allen needs to do the things he\u2019s known for on the football field.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Dawkins is one of the best in the NFL at what he does, which makes Allen\u2019s life much easier. Dawkins earned his fifth straight Pro Bowl last year, though he\u2019ll tell you like the rest of the Bills\u2019 roster: they\u2019re not satisfied until the Vince Lombardi Trophy is in hand.<\/p>\n

NFL COACHES AND EXECUTIVES SAY PATRICK MAHOMES IS NO LONGER THE BEST QUARTERBACK IN THE NFL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

To make that happen, the combination of Allen and Dawkins are paramount \u2013 even if the latter can\u2019t stand the extra cardio the former makes him put in.<\/p>\n

Hitting the road with Polaris and Call of Duty<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right across the street from the Javits Center, Polaris, the American automobile manufacturer, and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 created an off-road obstacle course that Fanatics Fest attendees could navigate throughout the four-day event this weekend.<\/p>\n

Dawkins got a first taste of the experience in a Polaris RZR, which will be featured in the latest edition of the video game franchise when it comes out in October.<\/p>\n

Dawkins, an automobile aficionado himself, loved every second of the obstacle course, and even let out a shriek when the driver floored it over a hill at the end.<\/p>\n

“If there was just a longer stretch, we really would\u2019ve went flying,” Dawkins said, laughing.<\/p>\n

The experience was one that had Dawkins itching to get into his own vehicle.<\/p>\n

“I already told them I need three of these because we can all be in the woods in Buffalo at Big Indian going crazy,” Dawkins said. “It holds and grabs so well \u2013 no problem. I just want to see it through the puddles, ponds and when it gets real wet and real soft on the ground underneath. Click the four-wheel drive and get that thing moving.”<\/p>\n
