Temple lineman Dion Dawkins drafted in the second round by Buffalo

Dion Dawkins, who was projected in many quarters as a second-round pick, indeed was selected there after the Buffalo Bills traded up to select the Temple offensive lineman.

The 6-foot-4, 314-pound Dawkins was the second-to-last choice of the second round, 63rd overall by the Bills.

Dawkins will be joining a coaching staff that is well aware of Temple and the players the Owls produce.

New coach Sean McDermott, the former Eagles defensive coordinator has former Eagles long-time offensive line coach Juan Castillo as his offensive line coach.

The assistant offensive line coach is Andrew Dees, a former offensive line coach at Temple.
