Back in the day when the Bruise Brothers of Terry Kinard and Andy Headen could lay a head first to the chest tackle on running backs and receivers and do the Cross Bone salute,those..were.. the..days

Dawkins was an afterthought that Sapp managed to get Clemson to take on. Then look what he became. Wild. His tackles were scary

An even more amazing thought! The only former Tiger in the Pro Football Hall of Fame was a Ken Hatfield recruit.

Dawkins will always be remembered as #20. Who on here knows the jersey # he wore as a freshman in '92? Thumbs up for the correct answer.

Yeah, it is shame they can't target and critically injure one another

After 15 seasons as an NFL safety, Brian Dawkins is deeply concerned about the fate of a couple other longtime NFL safeties.

Former Bears safety Dave Duerson and former Eagles safety Andre Waters both committed suicide, and some have linked those suicides to depression caused by brain damage suffered on the field. Dawkins calls that a wakeup call.
