I've always wanted to stand on a NFL sideline during a game!! Men that big, strong, fast, athletic, & competitive would scare the hell out of me, I have no doubt about that!!!
+Rodney Robinson no idea take their mass, and multiply it with their acceleration and you'll get the force. whoever has the greatest force probably hits the hardest
Even though he never won a ring as a player, as an Eagles fan, I can proudly say he finally got one working with the team he loved his whole career. Now that he's on to better things with new destination and dreams, I can now say... Congratulations to HOFer and Super Bowl Champion Brian Dawkins aka Weapon X. Congrats Doggonit!
I am a ravens fan and obviously i love ed reed, but it is honestly a dead tie between brian dawkins and ed reed as my favorite players of all time. I wear number 20 because of these 2 guys and i love the way dawkins motivates and pumps people up, the way he punished opposing teams offenses, the way he played the game in general still pumps me up. He had better be a fist ballot hall of famer because the man was a beast on and off the football field.
He’s my all time favorite eagle! I met him at a store and he took a photo op with me and he made it so sentimental i couldn’t help but cry tears of joy
Anyone who puts Polamalu on the same level as this man has no clue what they're talking about. Their stats are so lopsided it's ridiculous. Call me biased, but Dawkins may be the greatest safety of all time. He's most definitely the greatest Eagle who's ever played the game.
LOL please explain... their stats are so lopsided that it's almost funny that you even want to make that argument. Tackles: Dawkins- 895 Polamalu- 581 Sacks: Dawkins- 26.0 Polamalu- 12.0 Interceptions: Dawkins- 37 Polamalu- 32 Forced Fumbles: Dawkins- 36 Polamalu- 14 Those are the most significant stats when talking about safeties and Dawkins SHATTERS Polamalu in 3 of them. So please, explain how Polamalu was even on the same level, let alone on "a higher level" than Dawkins. This is going to be the easiest argument I'll ever win. I strongly advise you avoid this argument while you still have a little dignity left.
Well the easiest way to explain it is that Polamalu played on a much better defensive team so there just weren't as many tackles to go around. Also the steelers hardly ever blitzed him so that's why he didn't have many sacks. But don't get me wrong I think Dawkins is the best safety ever to play the game. But at the same time Troy is also probably top 3 as his stats would've been similar to Dawkins' if he would've played on a less talented defense.

No lie, I'm an 18 year old male and this makes me cry. Not like im "boo-hooin" but it brings teas to my eyes. He is such a positive man, and such a strong force. He was my hero growing up and he still is my hero. It's so sad that he ended his career without winning a superbowl.
I was born in 1970 A Eagles fan and I will die A Eagle Fan. I have always been a Brian Dawkins fan and after watching 7:35 My Respect and love for this man has grown 100% more. He is the Greatest Safety the Philadelphia Eagles have ever had.
My favorite player ever, and when he signed with my Broncos a few years back that was awesome. Damn near brought a tear to my eye. Such a great guy and player. Don't understand how anyone could hate this dude.
I played Safety Position in the years 80's and 90's in Mexico City and These players are my favorite Safeties of all time: Ed Reed, Sean Taylor, Brian Dawkins, John Lynch, Charlie Waters, Cliff Harris, Mel Renfro, Randy Hughes, Bill Bates, James Washington, Thomas Everett, Darren Woodson, Brock Marion, George Teague, Roy Williams, Ken Hamlin, Gerald Sensabaugh, Barry Church, JJ Wilcox, Ricardo Ponce, Gary Fencik, Ronnie Lott, Troy Polamalu, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Darren Sharper, Willie Wood, Rodney Harrison, Steve Atwater, Leroy Butler, Rod Woodson, Joey Browner, Ken Houston, Robert Griffith, Tim McDonald, Eugene Robinson, Kenny Easley, Eric Berry, David Fulcher, Bob Sanders among others Safeties either Strong Safety or Free Safety which is my Favorite Position in NFL
so much freaking class! B Dawk, you're the reason I am bird gang for life. I loved growing up seeing you make football what it's supposed to mean. you had the passion, all the heart in the world, and a humble man. so again, thank you for everything you brought to this game, it won't be forgotten. I've always rocked your number in all the sports I played.. I even have a pro bowl Broncos jersey of yours that I don't ever mind rocking.
My all time favorite. Met him years ago at a Verizon store. Got a photo op with him he made the experience so sentimental it was hard for me to keep my emotions in.
My favorite player ever. I am heartbroken that Dawk wasn't on the team this year to share in the Super Bowl win. This Super Bowl was for you Dawk and all the fans that have passed away before seeing their first Super Bowl win. Fly Eagles Fly
Favorite player since I was 2 when he was first an eagle. Still miss him. He was the best defenseman of all time. Hands down deserved Super Bowls plus hall of fame. Weapon X will forever be on the eagles defense
Man BDawk! Youre the Philadelphia fucking Eagle! I know I dont have to say anything that any eagles fan hasn't already said or knows!!. You're a fucking CHAMPION in our books!! You are going to be the ever lasting legend in Philly! Thank you for what you did. I'm honored for being able to watch you play!! Also, thank you for solidifying my fan hood for the birds!
I'm a Cowboys Fan, season ticket holder. Hands down all time favorite player is Brian Dawkins. If you ask "how can that be?" you simply don't get it. Mild manner, Christian man, doesn't curse and still able to wild out and ball so hard...psssshhh. That's a man, it's easy go drug, drink, & womanize he does the hard stuff on and off the field. Classy PS-He grew up a Cowboys Fan!
Everything you said is true one thing he also had one of the best games a Cornerback can have when he faced Houston 1int for TD 1fumble 1sack and 1 touchdown pass that gives respect to a man who will take your head of and make sure you don't forget where he came from God bless his future.
The way Takeo Spikes embraced him after that injury speaks for itself. Here’s a guy that’s not upset that he’s hurt but upset that he’s gotta get off the field is just flat out sad. Never could count out Brian Dawkins in any fight hurt or in good health he was always reliable in spirit.
+Dion Reed They do...Just because you don't see it don't mean it isn't there. There is Richard Sherman...JJ WATT...Dez Bryant...Josh Norman...and thats just a Few.
+Noob Smoke yeah i agree with you die hard eagles fan but I respect other players too from other teams like Drew Brees Troy Polamalu Ray Lewis Sean Taylor Jason Taylor Peyton Manning Brett Favre Brian Urlacher Calvin Johnson Charles Woodson and many more
+Noob Smoke I hope your right my Eagles suffered a disaster year by Chip Kelly thank god he is gone and now I smell fresh air I believe the Eagles have the pieces to the puzzle but its just missing a good O line and for Saints I hope they rise again I know no more Jimmy Graham but they got James Laurinaitis I don't know who else but they should make a comeback and by the way R.I.P to Will Smith DE was shot to death
I would run through a brick wall for Brian Dawkins, hands down my favorite Eagle Westbrook is a close 2nd this video is great and you better believe ill be in front of my TV tonight to watch this man and the Birds
Man.... he must have been in alot of pain for him to cry like that after that hit. I cant even imagine what that must have felt like. Salute to you Dawkins, you had a great career!
There's two things that I wish Brian experienced, winning a Super Bowl and playing his whole career as an Eagle.
I love you
+Antoninus II what are you
He got a ring for this superbowl because he still works for the Eagles
I cried hearing Dawk cry after that hit, I'm not afraid to say it.
I've always wanted to stand on a NFL sideline during a game!! Men that big, strong, fast, athletic, & competitive would scare the hell out of me, I have no doubt about that!!!
Me too 😢
If that was my teammate I'm laying someone o u t
@@bryanelam7431Dawkins wasn't even that big. Only 200 lbs. He was just made of steel and played super intense
😂 dude was sick
Super Bowl win or no... Hall of Fame. Hands down.
No matter what team you support.
obomonus Hall of famer now finally
obomonus W he's in the hall of fame
Brian Dawkins is a literal monster. the epitome of football
who hits harder out of brian dawkins troy polamalu and john lynch
+Rodney Robinson no idea take their mass, and multiply it with their acceleration and you'll get the force. whoever has the greatest force probably hits the hardest
just cuz he dont have a ring dont mean hes not the best. Brian Dawkins will always be the best safety in the NFL
Free Safety* and Sean Taylor could just as well be the best also.
Matthew Elias Was your right he is underrated And yes I said that
He has one as an executive of the Eagles.
*ahem* Ronnie Lott.
Matthew Elias Ahem Sean Taylor Ahem Kam Chancellor btw Kam went out of being the hardest hitting safety ever to play in the nfl
I love that he enjoys his job. He seems like the guy that wakes up everyday and has that joy in his work.
i went from hyped up to tearing up at the end of this video. i love this guy man
I thought I was the only one
Nothing wrong with it. Dawkins is the man. One of the greatest football players ever.
Lmao same bruh
The end of this video helps cure my depression. He is a legend of a man!
R.I.P Steve Sabol.
Philadelphia's Michael Jordan, its almost like he's unreal or some kind of myth if you've never seen him play. I'm happy I got to.
Dawk would go right through you. one of my fav players of all time. 1st Ballot HOFer!
facts
*2018 Hall of Fame*
Safety Brian Dawkins.
Thank you. Sincerely, your fans.
Man I miss seeing this guy on Sundays.
- fly eagles fly!
I miss watching Dawkins play. The man was seriously was one hell of a monster.
I dont think there has ever been or ever will be anyone that is more passionate about the game of football than brian dawkins
He is just like Ray Lewis a hard hitter, pumped all game, and is a crazy person that pumps his team up I love b Dawkins # WeaponX
Unfortunately without the Super Bowl rings
That he played for another NFL team ranks right up there with the all time boneheaded personnel moves in Philly sports history
Even though he never won a ring as a player, as an Eagles fan, I can proudly say he finally got one working with the team he loved his whole career. Now that he's on to better things with new destination and dreams, I can now say... Congratulations to HOFer and Super Bowl Champion Brian Dawkins aka Weapon X. Congrats Doggonit!

Every time I watch this video, when they say that he doesn't have a Super Bowl I shake my head in shame.
greatest defensive player ever!
Wouldn't say best but probably top 5 Saftey that ever played
That boy was a fool on the field💪 favorite player ever man!
Loved watching bdawk and champ play I never cared about our offense players these two were my super hero’s
Watching this now that he's in the hall of fame
BDawk is my alltime favorite eagle. On and off the field. No one can say a bad thing about him.
He’s my all time favorite eagle! I met him at a store and he took a photo op with me and he made it so sentimental i couldn’t help but cry tears of joy
an outstanding athlete and person. Thank you for these great years

Clearly biased, and polamalu was on a higher level.
LOL please explain... their stats are so lopsided that it's almost funny that you even want to make that argument.
Tackles: Dawkins- 895 Polamalu- 581
Sacks: Dawkins- 26.0 Polamalu- 12.0
Interceptions: Dawkins- 37 Polamalu- 32
Forced Fumbles: Dawkins- 36 Polamalu- 14
Those are the most significant stats when talking about safeties and Dawkins SHATTERS Polamalu in 3 of them. So please, explain how Polamalu was even on the same level, let alone on "a higher level" than Dawkins.

cuzthechicksdigit but ed reed stops that
I'm crying a little. my favorite Eagle of all-time and I don't think it's possible for anyone to top him.
your not alone
facts
One of the greatest safeties I've ever watched, just a complete all around player and ferocious tackler. He deserves the hall of fame.
No lie, I'm an 18 year old male and this makes me cry. Not like im "boo-hooin" but it brings teas to my eyes. He is such a positive man, and such a strong force. He was my hero growing up and he still is my hero. It's so sad that he ended his career without winning a superbowl.
The audio from when he injured his neck made me cry with him. He is lucky he wasn't paralyzed.
I was born in 1970 A Eagles fan and I will die A Eagle Fan. I have always been a Brian Dawkins fan and after watching 7:35 My Respect and love for this man has grown 100% more. He is the Greatest Safety the Philadelphia Eagles have ever had.
man I love his attitude I wish I had it in high school
He'll be enshrined in Canton come August, I couldn't be happier, and I'll be there to witness it!!! What a year for Eagles fans! #FlyEaglesFly
My favorite player ever, and when he signed with my Broncos a few years back that was awesome. Damn near brought a tear to my eye. Such a great guy and player. Don't understand how anyone could hate this dude.
Sucks he never wanted to be a Bronco. He will always be an eagle. He stated this in his retirement speech.
Favorite player all time. I need a Dawkins jersey. Raiders all day thoe
Brian Dawkins is one of the greatest Eagles to ever play the game
As a skins fan I always feared this dude . One of the best safeties of all time and you rarely see this type of guy anymore
Damn bruh I cried when Dawkins went down.
I would be afraid to be his son lol
I know you all remember that Football video game intro with Brian Dawkins “CAN YOU FEEL THAT” goosebumps.
I played Safety Position in the years 80's and 90's in Mexico City and These players are my favorite Safeties of all time:
Ed Reed, Sean Taylor, Brian Dawkins, John Lynch, Charlie Waters, Cliff Harris, Mel Renfro, Randy Hughes, Bill Bates, James Washington, Thomas Everett, Darren Woodson, Brock Marion, George Teague, Roy Williams, Ken Hamlin, Gerald Sensabaugh, Barry Church, JJ Wilcox, Ricardo Ponce, Gary Fencik, Ronnie Lott, Troy Polamalu, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Darren Sharper, Willie Wood, Rodney Harrison, Steve Atwater, Leroy Butler, Rod Woodson, Joey Browner, Ken Houston, Robert Griffith, Tim McDonald, Eugene Robinson, Kenny Easley, Eric Berry, David Fulcher, Bob Sanders among others Safeties either Strong Safety or Free Safety which is my Favorite Position in NFL
we hear ray Lewis but brian should be up there as leader of men. his speech gives me the chills
so much freaking class! B Dawk, you're the reason I am bird gang for life.

See you in Canton, Dawk. It'll be a great day.
Indeed
Can't wait.
Great day indeed, now the super bowl today
seeing that man cry makes my heart shatter into thousands of pieces.
I think it's great that sean Taylor is in the suggestions R.I.P.
Right #RIP 🙏🏽
Holy shit. This actually made me cry. How is he not in the HOF like yesterday.
And he’s in the hall of fame. Shoutout to an all time great
Damn i cant believe i found this video again. I would see this video all the time in high school. Especially before my games.
MY FAVORITE EAGLE!!! Such a class act, what a great player!
My favorite player ever. I am heartbroken that Dawk wasn't on the team this year to share in the Super Bowl win. This Super Bowl was for you Dawk and all the fans that have passed away before seeing their first Super Bowl win.
Fly Eagles Fly
tackless actually he was a part of the Eagles corporations and earned a ring.
1:50 RIP Steve Sabol. Love that smile!
I love Brian Dawkins
Favorite player since I was 2 when he was first an eagle. Still miss him. He was the best defenseman of all time. Hands down deserved Super Bowls plus hall of fame. Weapon X will forever be on the eagles defense
He can also cure hangovers with his influence.
Man BDawk! Youre the Philadelphia fucking Eagle! I know I dont have to say anything that any eagles fan hasn't already said or knows!!. You're a fucking CHAMPION in our books!! You are going to be the ever lasting legend in Philly! Thank you for what you did. I'm honored for being able to watch you play!! Also, thank you for solidifying my fan hood for the birds!
It makes me mad that the eagles let him go but I'm glad they let him retire with him
The way he could motivate people without cursing
That man is all heart
I'm a Cowboys Fan, season ticket holder. Hands down all time favorite player is Brian Dawkins. If you ask "how can that be?" you simply don't get it.

Nothing feel better than laying that big hit on a guy you just know you got him just feels so good
I played FS/WR and I loved every second of it
This man played the game of football like it was suppose to be played
8:07 as he's being led off the field after getting hurt, he's still trying to motivate his teammates....might never be another player like him, ever.
one of the nfl's greatest players ever. and more importantly, one of its' finest men.
Respect him the best safety in football ever b dawk
One of my favorite Eagle ever
The way Takeo Spikes embraced him after that injury speaks for itself. Here’s a guy that’s not upset that he’s hurt but upset that he’s gotta get off the field is just flat out sad. Never could count out Brian Dawkins in any fight hurt or in good health he was always reliable in spirit.
He has a Super Bowl ring, as an Eagle, now!
Only if players today played with that passion
+Dion Reed They do...Just because you don't see it don't mean it isn't there.
There is Richard Sherman...JJ WATT...Dez Bryant...Josh Norman...and thats just a Few.
Philly need to hire this man as the defensive back coach ASAP. Smh Bradley and Williams is just..... smh can't even find a word
i can't blame you. I want the same shit.
I agree
Just having that kind of leader/passion/energy on the sideline would be nice
JerseySlayer it is
Just won the SB
This was the greatest video I've ever watched this made me cry and as a DieHard Eagles fan thank you!!!!!!
the most under rated player in NFL history and also probably the best safety in NFL history
Probably the most respectable player in the NFL even though he retired, i just cant believe he doesn't have a ring
I may be a saints fan, but I'd still sport a Dawkins jersey :) My favorite Safety of all time.
you deserve a gold medal for that comment :)
+Jesus Cortez I may be a die hard Saints fan, but I can appreciate and respect legendary players such as weapon X.
+Noob Smoke yeah i agree with you die hard eagles fan but I respect other players too from other teams like Drew Brees Troy Polamalu Ray Lewis Sean Taylor Jason Taylor Peyton Manning Brett Favre Brian Urlacher Calvin Johnson Charles Woodson and many more
+Jesus Cortez both are teams have fallen on hard times. the Eagles will make a comeback this year. hopefully the saints do the same.
+Noob Smoke I hope your right my Eagles suffered a disaster year by Chip Kelly thank god he is gone and now I smell fresh air I believe the Eagles have the pieces to the puzzle but its just missing a good O line and for Saints I hope they rise again I know no more Jimmy Graham but they got James Laurinaitis I don't know who else but they should make a comeback and by the way R.I.P to Will Smith DE was shot to death
Anybody else almost cry at one point?
Oh yeah, after that neck injury.
Same neck injury was sad knew he didn't want to leave the field
My boy from Clemson 🐯🐅💯
When you look up "Hall of Fame worthy" on Google, image results are of BDawk.. congrats to this legend of the gridiron. Also, RIP Steve
Love this guy and yes, Your Eagles won Super Bowl Steve R.I.P. Steve

Man.... he must have been in alot of pain for him to cry like that after that hit. I cant even imagine what that must have felt like. Salute to you Dawkins, you had a great career!
i played like this guy
