The offensive Tackle of Buffalo Bills, Dion Dawkins, wants offensive linens to begin to obtain some recognition.
While offensive linens are appointed for the PRO Bowl and the All-Pro teams, there is currently no offensive linus prize of the year or anything of that type.
“The offensive linens have no awards for being great. There is no ‘protector of the year’. Dawkins said during his press conference on Thursday.

“Because there are so many greats. So many greats. We have great quartbacks, we have great runners, we have hurried titles, we have titles of quartback passes. All those titles are reflections of O-Lineman, which are the protectors.”
At the university level, offensive linens are recognized with numerous different awards.
The Lombardi award is awarded to the best university football liner of the year, wing or supporter. This season, Texas Larchorn Kelvin Banks Jr.
The outland trophy is delivered to the best inner liner on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball. Banks also won that award this season.
