Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 revision of our top 50 Buffalo Bills.

As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Bills again made it to the playoffs but again fell short, having been knocked off by Kansas City in the second round.  The year gave us one new entrant and two elevations.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Bruce Smith
2. Thurman Thomas
3. O.J. Simpson
4. Jim Kelly
5. Andre Reed

You can find the entire list here.

Quarterback Josh Allen rose to #22 from #30. 

Wide Receiver Stefon Diggs rocketed to #29 from #45.  He is now with the Houston Texans.

The only new entrant is three-time Offensive Tackle Dion Dawkins, who first appears at #39.

Notably, Tremaine Edmunds has been dropped off the list.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Ravens again made it to the playoffs and boasted the league MVP in Lamar Jackson.  They did not make it to the Super Bowl, but there was significant movement with two new names and five elevations.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Ray Lewis
2. Ed Reed
3. Jonathan Ogden
4. Terrell Suggs
5. Marshal Yanda

You can find the entire list here.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson, who added his second MVP, moves up to #6 from #10.  With another good year, Jackson should be able to overtake Yanda to enter the top five.

Cornerback Marlon Humphrey edged up two spots to #21.

Offensive Tackle Ronnie Stanley moved up to #26 from #38.

Tight End Mark Andrews rose to #32 from #35.

The first debut is Linebacker Roquan Smith, arguably the best defensive player on the Ravens roster going into 2024.  He has not been with Baltimore for long but has already had two First Team All-Pros as a Raven.  He debuts at #41.

Now with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cornerback Patrick Queen reached #42 from #46.

The second new entrant is Defensive Tackle Justin Madubuike, who was a Pro Bowl Selection for the first time comes in at #43.

Please note that Kicker Justin Tucker remains at #9.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football Hockey and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the next ten of the 2024 Hockey List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 41 to 50:

41. Paul Henderson
42. Bobby Smith
43. Patrik Elias
44. Andy Moog
45. Vladimir Krutov
46. Brian Propp
47. Pat Stapleton
48. Alexei Kasatonov
49. Neal Broten
50. Mathieu Schneider

Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

Drafted in the second round (63rd overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft from Temple, Dion Dawkins joined Western New York as a versatile, athletic lineman. He took over the starting left tackle position midway through his rookie season and quickly became a key part of Buffalo's rebuilding efforts, serving as the primary protector for star quarterback Josh Allen.

Dawkins, standing 6 feet 5 inches and weighing 320 pounds, combines powerful upper-body strength with agile footwork to secure the edges of Buffalo's passing game. As a left tackle in an offense that requires the quarterback to extend plays beyond the pocket, he is adept at holding blocks well past standard timing. In the running game, his broad frame and explosive leg movement enable him to push past edge defenders, creating large openings on perimeter sweeps and zone-read plays.

Dawkins secured the starting left tackle position outright during his 2017 rookie season, starting 11 games and demonstrating he could compete with top pass rushers. By 2018, he had cemented his role on the blind side full-time, initiating a streak of consistent performance as Buffalo developed its offense around Allen.

His rise to elite status was confirmed in 2021 when he made his first career Pro Bowl while protecting Allen during an AFC East-winning season. Dawkins repeated this success in 2022 and 2023, earning consecutive Pro Bowl honors and regularly posting double-digit Approximate Value scores, all while leading one of the league's highest-scoring offenses.

Dawkins maintained his elite performance into 2024, starting 16 games and securing his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl. In 2025, he reached new personal milestones. Starting 15 games, he delivered an outstanding pass-blocking season, putting minimal pressure on Allen and effectively blocking for a versatile run game. His excellence earned him his fifth straight Pro Bowl selection, reaffirming his status among the top offensive tackles of his era. Additionally, Dawkins was recognized for his character and leadership, being named the Bills' Walter Payton Man of the Year Club Winner for the fourth year in a row.

Entering 2026, Dawkins is a respected locker room leader and franchise cornerstone. Over nine seasons in Buffalo (2017–2025), he played 143 games (137 starts) and scored two touchdown catches as an eligible receiver.
