Brian Dawkins | Humility, Commitment and What Separates Average from the Hall of Fame

About This Episode:

Brian Dawkins is a former American football safety who played 16 seasons in the National Football League, primarily with the Philadelphia Eagles. He played college football at Clemson and was drafted by the Eagles in the second round of the 1996 NFL Draft, whom he was a member of for 13 seasons. In his last three seasons, he played for the Denver Broncos. Dawkins was nicknamed ""Weapon X"" after the codename of the Marvel Comics character Wolverine for his reputation of relentless aggression on the field.

Regarded as one of the greatest safeties of all time, Dawkins was viewed as the leader of the Eagles' defense, named to nine Pro Bowls, and a five-time first-team All-Pro during his career. He also made one Super Bowl appearance with the Eagles in XXXIX, which was played in his home city of Jacksonville, Florida. In addition to his playing career, Dawkins served the Eagles as an executive of football operations for player development from 2016 to 2018 and was with the organization when they won Super Bowl LII. He was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018.
