The Unlikely, Happy Marriage of the NFL and Cornhole

  • Dion Dawkins is bringing cornhole to ESPN in a tournament involving him and 7 other NFL players.
  • Dawkins joins 'Front Office Sports Today' to share his love for the sport and why he thinks cornhole is heading to the Olympics.
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins has a second favorite sport: cornhole. He’s competing, along with 7 other NFL players, in a big event being broadcast from New Orleans by ESPN this weekend. Dawkins joins the show to discuss his love of the sport, where he sees it going (hint: the Olympics), and why he thinks the bags are “like therapy.”

Plus, Caitlin Clark broke more records at the WNBA Draft, Travis Kelce has a thriving media career, and the NBA banned Jontay Porter for life.
