Bills OT Dion Dawkins receives new player-centric cereal
Buffalo has a surprisingly proud history of producing Bills-centric breakfast cereals, long immortalizing those who represent the city on a national scale with branded sugary morning foods. Flutie Flakes, T.O.’s, and MariO’s are just a few of the Bills-adjacent cereals that have been produced over the years, with the Josh Allen-branded Josh’s Jaqs hitting store shelves in recent years.
A new Bills breakfast treat has arrived at local stores, as the team announced Monday morning that the Dion Dawkins-branded “Buffalo Shnow Crunch” is now available at participating Wegmans locations. The cereal appears to be a take on Lucky Charms, containing sweet toasted oat cereal and themed marshmallow pieces. A portion of sales will go to Dion’s Dreamers, the offensive tackle’s foundation that he established in 2020.
The name of the cereal is a play on Dawkins’ trademark “you already shnow” catchphrase, something he’s oft-said throughout his entire professional career.

A three-time Pro Bowler who has manned the left side of Buffalo’s offensive line since 2017, Dawkins has long matched his on-field impact with his off-field communal efforts, being one of the team’s most active members in communal and charitable endeavors. His receiving a cereal not only goes to show how impactful of a player he is on the field, but of how greatly his presence is felt throughout the Western New York community.
