One of the biggest supporters of Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen's romance with Hailee Steinfeld is offensive tackle Dion Dawkins.
Dawkins, who signed a three-year, $60 million contract extension with the Bills last offseason, gushed over the drastic change the Oscar-nominated actress has had on his QB1.
During Allen's first game back after proposing to Steinfeld during the bye week, he completed 13-of-17 passes for 148 yards and two scores, along with three rushes for 18 yards and a touchdown, including a seven-yard receiving touchdown on a ball he threw.
"There's love in the air, man!" Dawkins said after the Bills defeated the San Francisco 49ers and clinched their fifth consecutive AFC East title
Dion Dawkins thinks there is something drastically different about this year's Bills team. He said it has everything to do with Josh Allen, who's "right."

"It's a beautiful thing. But it is drastically different. I'm a jokester... but we all stem from him," Dawkins said of Allen. "But when he is fully right and he is fully complete, we have the best shot of winning."
"You can see how he smiles. You can see how he is interviews... You can literally feel how he plays ball. That's what's different."
During a March 7 appearance on "Good Morning Football," Kyle Brandt asked Dawkins if he planned to go to any weddings this offseason. After doing a little dance and laughing, "Josh Allen is one of those guys and he sealed that deal," Dawkins said. "And soon to come. May 31. It's happening."

Dawkins' date falls in line with what US Magazine reported on March 6. "They don't want a long engagement, and the wedding planning is already underway," a source told the outlet.
"They only have a few timeframes they can have the wedding, so they are nailing down the logistics and are location scouting right now. It will be a very intimate but extravagant event."
Considering how much Allen and Steinfeld value their privacy, they couple kept their relationship out of the spotlight for over a year, fans were confused as to why Dawkins would leak such key information.
One person posted, "The way it's always him spilling the tea about them ." Another fan replied, "I like dion but i think he talks too much i dnt think he is supposed to say that. I feel for hailee and josh." One X user commented, "Ikr why tf would you say that?"
A Steinfeld fan account wrote, "congrats to them but i feel like they should've been the ones to announce these things first."
