    Congrats to Mr. Dawkins.

    Don't put DW4 in the HOF just yet CD. I mean, he's only a rookie. A rookie with 2 surgically repaired knees.

    He's 1-0 when his ACL is torn
    Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him

    He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

    He has a total of 99 INT’s, Sacks and Forced Fumbles. I think that’s the highest ever for an NFL DB

    You took the time to look the stats up and Wikipedia said ( I Think ). Must be some of that rebuilding/reloaded jibber jabber.

    No sir. I heard it yesterday on my television set. What I did look up on Wikipedia was Ed Reed, who I consider the best safety ever. Reed only had 6 sacks, which surprised me.

    Ronnie Lott farts in ed reeds general direction.

    But even his numbers are not as good as Dawkins. 26 more interceptions but 20 less forced fumbles and 17.5 fewer sacks.

    Congrats Mr Dawkins. Well deserved.

    I met Brian dawkins in the locker room in jacksonville at the gator bowl. Told him i played both ways at QB and DB. I was just a kid barely on JV at the time. He said, “Focus on DB, we like to crush QB’s”. My uncle was also a scout at the time for the Philadelphia Eagles, so obviously you know how that worked out and i knew of and went looking for Dawkins for an autograph that day. I’ll spare y’all my growing up kind of a Clemson fan. Clearly that changed thru blood, sweat, tears, and lots of money invested in South Carolina. I only say that to say, he was and remained thru his career one of my favorite football players of all time.
    He was the best at his craft.
    Hit like an absolute freight train.
    And understood the game like a true pro.
    He was one of those guys you could just watch and truly appreciate on the field.

    Well deserved! Will be pulling for the Eagles tonight.
