Reman Cyrodill had the ability to eat dragon souls and its stated by delphine that the early akavirii dragon guard would go on dragon hunts with Reman. The reason the rest are not documented obsorbing dragon souls is because dragons had become rare thanks to the akavirri genocide of dragons. So rare infact that by Tiber Septims time dragons where rare and he offered them his protection.
