On June 30, Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox wed Alex Seefeldt in a stunning ceremony held in Nashville, Tennessee.
Bills team chaplain Len Vanden Bos shared a picture from the stunning tented reception on X a day after the wedding. “Mr. and Mrs. Knox Dawson! #GoBills,” on his post.
Many of Knox’s previous and current colleagues were present to help celebrate the couple’s special day. Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Bills, was not alone in attendance; Dalton Kincaid, Quintin Morris, Tre McKitty, and Zach Davidson were also there in the tight ends room.
Along with punter Sam Martin and offensive tackles Spencer Brown and Dion Dawkins, former Bills center Mitch Morse attended the wedding.
The off-season is when NFL players most often tie the knot. Allen was in Cabo, Mexico, last weekend to attend the wedding of his former backup quarterback, Kyle Allen of the Bills. Tyler Bass, a kicker with the Bills, wed Ryan Tuten in March.
In November, Knox asked Seefeldt, a Buffalo native and fitness instructor, to marry him. He shared on Instagram about the unexpected proposal. He remarked, “I suppose this is what the kids call a ‘hard launch.'”
“I’ve found the person my soul truly desires.” Knowing when you know… and it didn’t take me many months to decide that I wanted to live out the rest of my days with her. She has supported me through my worst moments and helps me become my best self. She is an outward manifestation of God’s love, and I am eternally grateful to Him for her. The greatest day of my life, 11.30.23 🤍
According to her LinkedIn page, Seefeldt completed her education at Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart for high school and the University of Buffalo’s School of Public Health and Health Professions for college, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in 2021.
Seefeldt spent more than nine years working as a part-time instructor at Master Khechen’s Martial Arts Academy prior to becoming a personal trainer. Seefeldt soon established himself as a regular at the games, supporting the seasoned tight end both at home and abroad.
Knox, who agreed to restructure his contract this summer, inked a four-year, $52 million extension in 2022. Although he effectively received a wage decrease, the new $29.5 million, three-year contract keeps him committed until 2026.
Knox caught 22 passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games. This was a dramatic drop in output after two seasons with more over 500 yards in a row. According to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic, his 2023 drop percentage of 13.2% was “the worst drop rate of the past four seasons by a Bills skill position player.”
The third-round selection the Bills made in the 2019 NFL draft is still very valuable, both on and off the field. In addition to providing much-needed experience in the locker room, he is healthy this year and might make a comeback.
