Buffalo Bills star Dion Dawkins has accused JetBlue staff of stealing jewelry and Rolex watches from his fiancée, Daiyaana Muhammad, on a flight to Florida.
Dawkins, 31, a nine-season NFL veteran who just wrapped up a disappointing campaign with the Buffalo Bills that cost head coach Sean McDermott his job, called out the American airline after expensive jewelry went missing. The Bills' offensive lineman says he spent $10,000 on first-class flights to fly his family from Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale — only for his model partner, Muhammad, to have thousands of dollars' worth of jewelry stolen.

"@JetBlue makes no sense for security," Dawkins, who will play under Joe Brady in the 2026 campaign, wrote. "I spent 10k to give my family an experience and put them all on first class @JetBlue Mint from LA to Fort Lauderdale And employees steal my fiancés [sic] [jewelry] out of her bag. Rolex Watches."

Mirror U.S. Sport has reached out to JetBlue for comment. The couple has been dating for a while, with the NFL star and registered nurse/model Muhammad sharing three children.
Dawkins and Muhammad were in California together for he annual NFL Honors ceremony, which was held a few days before Super Bowl LX. Muhammad is also a Los Angeles native. The red-carpet appearance followed a disappointing season for the Bills.
The 2025 campaign was shaping up to be the Bills' best shot at Super Bowl glory in the Josh Allen era, with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens both missing the playoffs. The Bills were beaten by the No. 1 seed in the AFC, the Denver Broncos, in the Divisional Round, leading to McDermott's dismissal.
"True leader amongst a world full of alphas's, Honored and Truly Best to learn under our Time. McDeezzyyyy, You Are Truly One Of Them Ones. Until The Grass Meets us Again. #YouAlreadyShnow." Dawkins wrote following McDermott's dismissal.

Brady was promoted from the Bills' offensive coordinator to head coach. He is excited to continue his partnership with quarterback Allen, as the Bills also head into their brand-new stadium for the 2026 season.
"Josh Allen is the best player in the NFL and I have to grow," Brady said. "I'm so excited to continue this journey with him. I have so much love for that man right there and all I want is for him to get everything he deserves."
Brady also thanked McDermott in his first Bills press conference. "I want to thank and recognize Sean McDermott," Brady said.
"Four years ago, coach McDermott gave me the opportunity of a lifetime to come here, coach for the Buffalo Bills and coach Josh Allen.
