Eagles News: Brian Dawkins gave a speech to Phillies players that had them “ready to run through a brick wall”

Dawkins on Bryce: He’s another rock star - MLB.com
The Philadelphia Eagles legend arrived at Spectrum Field early Saturday morning with challenges in mind. Phillies manager Gabe Kapler invited Dawkins to speak to his players after listening to him motivate the organization’s top prospects in January at Citizens Bank Park. Dawkins spoke for about 30 minutes, like only Dawkins can speak -- enthusiastically and emotionally. He talked about responsibility, sacrifice, work ethic and being the best versions of themselves. Dawkins then reminded the Phillies that they had a parade down Broad Street in 2008, his first taste of ultimate victory in Philadelphia .
