Dion Dawkins is lobbying the NFL to start an Offensive Lineman of the Year award

In NFL awards, offensive linemen at all times come up empty. No offensive lineman has ever received NFL MVP, Offensive Participant of the Yr or Offensive Rookie of the Yr. It’s extraordinarily uncommon for any offensive lineman even to get a single vote for any of these awards.

Payments offensive lineman Dion Dawkins desires to alter that. Dawkins mentioned he’s engaged on lobbying the NFL to start out an Offensive Lineman of the Yr award to acknowledge the very best within the sport on the most ignored place.

“Offensive linemen don’t have awards for being nice,” Dawkins mentioned. “There’s not a protector of the yr award. I’m knocking at so many doorways now to get this award going. I’m gonna spearhead it and ensure it will get executed earlier than I’m executed enjoying. As a result of there’s so many greats, and we have now nice quarterbacks, we have now nice working backs, we have now dashing titles, we have now quarterback passing titles. All these titles are reflections on the o-linemen, that are the protectors.”

In school soccer the Outland Trophy for the very best lineman within the nation, in addition to the Rimington Trophy for the very best heart, and a few conferences have their very own awards for offensive linemen. However the NFL has nothing of the sort. Dawkins’ concept is an effective one.
