Offensive line: Eric Wood, Richie Incognito, Andy Levitre, Dion Dawkins, Cordy Glenn
Looking through the past decade of offensive linemen for the Bills, it’s apparent that the group hasn’t always been a dominant unit. There have been pieces that have looked solid in the trenches for Buffalo, though.
Eric Wood is the obvious choice for center. Wood started 110 games and was named to a Pro Bowl. Richie Incognito earned Pro Bowl nominations in each of his three seasons in Western New York.
After those two players, it gets a bit fuzzy. There were several players who had some degree of success on the line. Cordy Glenn started 77 games in six seasons with the Bills. Injuries took him off the field, but the Georgia Bulldog held down the blind-side position for several seasons.
The other guard spot came down to either Andy Levitre, John Miller, or Kraig Urbik. Urbik was a solid contributor, but Levitre was a stronger force during his time before leaving via free agency in 2013. Miller, for his part, started out promisingly, only to plateau during his final season in Buffalo.
Finally, the other tackle position was a toss-up between Dion Dawkins, Eric Pears, and Jordan Mills. Mills put in the time at right tackle but never seemed to be anything above an average tackle. Pears was a physical force, but also did not have a high ceiling during his playing time. Dawkins, for his part, has become the team’s left tackle and has strengthened his play over the past season.
