Where did Dion Dawkins go to college? Why Bills' star lineman shouts out 'You Already Shnow University' image

Dion Dawkins is one of the most gregarious personalities in the NFL. That was obvious on Hard Knocks this summer with the Buffalo Bills.

It's hard to gain that much notoriety as an offensive lineman, but Dawkins isn't like most offensive lineman.

On the field, he's one of the best. He's a monster left tackle who protects QB Josh Allen's blind side.

He's also a goofball. And so every time the Bills play on NBC, when players are introduced and name their colleges, Dawkins doesn't say his actual school.

Instead, he says, "Dion Dawkins, You Already Shnow University."

It's a shoutout to Dawkins' childhood nickname, the Shnowman. He used to shovel driveways in the snow when he was growing up in New Jersey.

Why does Dion Dawkins say 'You Already Shnow University'?

It's a way for the Buffalo Bills' star left tackle to shoutout where he's from.

The big fella is proud of where he comes from, and clearly enjoys the nickname he got growing up.

This is how he embraces it.
