- Dawson Knox is a big dude.
- The fourth-year Buffalo tight end is wicked strong and runs through defenders.
- His favorite smoothie helps him get to where he needs to be physically and he recently shared his recipe.
Bills tight end Dawson Knox is entering his fourth year in the league. The 25-year-old was drafted in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft and has slowly blossomed into a crucial component to Buffalo’s offense.
Not only is he continuing to grow into a bigger and bigger role within the passing game, catching a career-high nine touchdowns last season, but he is a fantastic blocker. He is becoming a fantastic edge-sealer.
Dawson Knox got better at other things too 😍

And when Knox gets the ball in the open field, he is a mauler.

It’s not hard to see why. He stands 6-foot-4, 255 pounds of pure muscle.

Earlier this week, Knox shared one of his secret recipes for helping him maintain his physique and weight goals. He said that he is a firm believer in drinking his vegetables over eating his vegetables, and his trick do doing so sounds pretty delicious.
Here are the ingredients:
- Honey — “great for the allergies, by the way.”
- Almond butter — “I couldn’t tell you the difference, health-wise between almond butter and peanut butter, but this is allegedly healthier.”
- Whey protein — “It just tastes really good.”
- Supergreens powder — “It’ll taste a little bit better than a pound of broccoli sitting on your plate looking at you in the face.”
- Hemp seeds — “Again, couldn’t tell ya the exact benefits.”
- Flax seeds — “Miss Kat (the smoothie-maker at the team facility) uses them.”
- Chia seeds — “I had a chia pet growing up.”
- Whole milk — “I don’t think almond milk is a real thing.”
