What began as a family trip planned to be enjoyed under the highest standards of comfort ended up turning into a serious security allegation against one of the most well-known airlines in the United States. Dion Dawkins, veteran offensive lineman for the Buffalo Bills, publicly accused JetBlue of an alleged theft committed by company employees, directly affecting his fiance, model and nurse Daiyaana Muhammad.
The incident occurred during a flight covering the route between Los Angeles and Fort Lauderdale, a trip on which Dawkins had purchased tickets in the exclusive “Mint” class, a premium service that, according to the airline, guarantees privacy, personalized attention, and enhanced protective measures for passengers. The player stated that he paid $10,000 to ensure his family traveled with maximum peace of mind. However, upon arriving in Florida, they discovered that Rolex watches and several pieces of fine jewelry were missing from Muhammad’s luggage.

The complaint was shared directly by Dawkins through his X account, where he expressed his frustration with a forceful message directed at the airline. “JetBlue makes no sense when it comes to security,” he wrote. “I spent 10k to give my family an experience and put them all in first class… and the employees steal my fiance’s jewelry from her bag. Rolex watches.” The post, in which he tagged the company, generated thousands of interactions and sparked a debate about security protocols in baggage handling within luxury services.
Dawkins recently concluded his ninth season with the Bills, established as one of the pillars of the offensive line and the primary protector of quarterback Josh Allen. Since joining the team in 2017, he has remained an essential piece, participating in nearly every regular-season game and contributing decisively to the team’s multiple AFC playoff appearances.
An episode that contrasts with his recent media exposure
The complaint comes just days after Dawkins and Muhammad drew attention at one of the most important events on the NFL social calendar. In early February, the couple was among the most photographed on the red carpet at the NFL Honors, held in San Francisco ahead of Super Bowl LX. Muhammad stood out in a gold silk dress, while the five-time Pro Bowl lineman opted for a black-and-white suit that caught attendees’ attention.
