Former Philadelphia Eagles great Brian Dawkins is one step closer to Canton, as he has officially been named a semifinalist to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Dawkins is arguably the greatest player to ever put on an Eagles uniform and could also very well be the greatest safety to ever play the game. It would not be much of a surprise if Dawkins became only the eighth safety to be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The seven already enshrined are Jack Christiansen, Ken Houston, Paul Krause, Yale Lary, Emlen Tunnell, Larry Wilson and Willie Wood, per Pro Football Talk.
