Our All-Time Top 50 Buffalo Bills have been revised to reflect the 2023 Season
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.
39. Dion Dawkins
As of this writing, Dion Dawkins has played the entirety of his NFL career with the Buffalo Bills, earning the starting job at Left Tackle as a rookie in 2017.
Becoming an important protector of Quarterback Josh Allen, Dawkins came into his own in 2021, where he started a three-year run of consecutive Pro Bowls, all of which saw him exceed 10 in Approximate Value. A fourth Pro Bowl in 2024 will jump him up this list next year.
