Dawkins advanced to the top 100 after another step in 2024 with Josh Allen’s blind protector.
Left tackle nodded with Allen for the fourth consecutive Pro Bowl, who played a key role in helping the quarterback win his first MVP award.
ESPN gave him a 93% pass winning rate in the 2024 season, ranking eighth of all offensive tackles.
He also recorded an even distribution of 1.97 yards from the Guard in 2024, according to Coral Smith of NFL Pro and NFL.com.
He and right tackle Spencer Brown are expected to play the same key role in 2025 as Allen and the Bills hope to push the Super Bowl this winter.
Dawkins has previously advocated that offensive wingers receive more recognition from the league through awards for specific positions, which will be introduced for the first time in 2025.
Meanwhile, Nacua ranked 33rd in the top 100 list of the top 100 lists and ranked fourth in the NFL in 2023 with 1,486 receiving codes.
His rankings dropped slightly, probably because of a knee injury that caused him to miss five games early this year.
Broad receiver returns in Week 8. Even when he sat down in Week 18, he led the Rams by bringing 79 catches and 990 yards, adding another 141 yards in the playoffs, thus reducing the 1,000 yards of catch yards.
Overall, however, Nacua's productivity dropped from 14.2 yards per rookie to 12.5 yards per capture in 2024.
This could change the fall as Cooper Kupp leaves the Rams this offseason as Nacua is the undisputed WR1.
Nacua maintained his top 50 ability in the injured game, which shows his companions hope he will remain healthy in 2025 and return to his rookie season dominance.
The top 100 players in the NFL are voted on by other players. The countdown will continue to reveal two players for each working day until it is revealed on the NFL Network on Sunday, September 1.
