"He's a dominant run blocker from his left tackle spot, which is a rare sight these days," Kiper wrote. "You don't see many throwback run blockers who can explode at the snap and lock onto defenders in the current NFL." Dawkins did so in Temple's win at UCF on Saturday. "Dawkins (6-foot-5, 315 pounds) showed good leg drive and footwork and the ability to get to the second level with ease," Kiper wrote. "He uses his hands well to engage defenders and drive them off the ball. I don't see an issue with him sticking at left tackle in the NFL, and I think he has a chance to be a first-round pick depending on how he works out at the combine."- Mel Kiper, Jr., ESPN
"Dion is continuing to develop. I am most proud of his leadership and worth-ethic. He is right up there with all the other guys that we have had, that we talk about all the time. Dion is in here everyday working hard. He puts extra work in. He practices every day not rotating at all, taking every rep. I think he has been strong at the point of attack. I think he is tremendous in pass protection. He is a really talented player, but he also works extremely hard. He has been really locked in, which I really appreciate. Sometimes the guys that get a lot of attention [their minds can] can wander. Dion has really stayed locked in to the process and is trying to help the team win."Â -Â Temple Head Coach Matt Rhule
