🔥SHOCKING: Player Dion Dawkins unexpectedly announces he will marry his girlfriend Daiyaana Muhammad at the end of this year, while also revealing the reason behind his urgent decision, leaving fans deeply concerned: “We don’t have much time left…”**
Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins stunned the NFL world Tuesday night with an emotional Instagram Live that has already amassed over 4 million views in less than 24 hours.
The 31-year-old Pro Bowler appeared alongside his longtime girlfriend Daiyaana Muhammad, tears in his eyes, announcing they will tie the knot on December 28, 2025, barely five weeks away.
“We decided to move the wedding up,” Dawkins said, voice cracking. “We don’t have much time left… Daiyaana has been diagnosed with a rare form of aggressive lymphoma.”
The couple revealed Muhammad, 29, received the devastating diagnosis just three weeks ago after months of unexplained fatigue and bruising during the Bills’ training camp.
Doctors gave her a narrow treatment window, explaining that chemotherapy must begin immediately after the holiday season to maximize survival chances, pushing the original 2026 wedding plans forward.
“I’m not waiting another year to call her my wife,” Dawkins declared, holding Muhammad’s hand tightly. “If these are the days we get, I want every single one of them as husband and wife.”
The Bills organization quickly released a statement pledging full support, including private medical flights and unlimited time off for Dawkins throughout her treatment at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Teammates flooded social media with messages; quarterback Josh Allen posted a broken-heart emoji followed by “Whatever you need, brother. We ride together.”
Fans have launched #DawkinsStrong across platforms, raising over $450,000 in 18 hours for lymphoma research and the couple’s medical expenses through a verified GoFundMe.
Muhammad, a former college track athlete and current youth coach, spoke briefly: “I’m scared, but I’m not fighting alone. This man right here is my miracle.”
Dawkins ended the stream by thanking Buffalo for embracing them since 2017: “Y’all became family. Now we need that Mafia love more than ever.”
The wedding will be small (under 50 guests) at a private venue in Orchard Park, with a larger celebration planned if treatment succeeds.
As the NFL community rallies behind one of its most beloved offensive linemen, Dion Dawkins reminded everyone why he’s called “The Shnowman” (always warm when it matters most).
