The Buffalo Bills’ offense led the NFL in rushing through the 2025 season, and certainly, James Cook gets a significant portion of the praise for that accomplishment. After all, Cook led the league in rushing himself with 1,621 yards on the ground.

But like every great running back, he had a little help from his friends up front. Still, it wasn’t just the offensive linemen pulling their weight as receivers and tight ends alike got in on the action.

Jackson Hawes, a fifth-round pick out of Georgia Tech last spring, got his flowers in an unexpected way for doing his part as a blocker following his noteworthy rookie season.
