Brian Dawkins – Eagles/S (1996-2008) “Weapon X” was one of the greatest and most popular Eagles ever. B-Dawk was a 9-time Pro Bowler, 4-time 1st team All Pro, and 2-time 2nd team All Pro. Dawk is the only player in league history with 25 or more INTs (37), Forced Fumbles (36), and Sacks (26). His 36 Forced Fumbles were the most ever by an NFL Safety. Dawkins was the first NFL player to hit the 30-mark for INTs and Forced Fumbles, and is in the 20/20 Club with 26 Sacks and 37 INTs. Dawkins finished his career with 1,131 tackles.
On September 29th, 2002, vs. the Houston Texans at Veterans Stadium, Dawkins recorded a sack, recovered a fumble, had an interception, and on a fake punt play had a 58-yard TD reception on a toss from Brian Mitchell. No other NFL player in the history of the game has accomplished this feat.
Dawkins is second all-time on the Eagles games played list. Weapon X was selected to the NFL’s 2000’s All-Decade Team, the Eagles 75th Anniversary Team, and had his #20 retired by the Eagles in 2012.
B-Dawk entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018.
