Sometimes, you just have to know when something pretty special comes along. Brian Dawkins; parents had to know that when he was born on October 13th in Jacksonville, Florida. The Clemson Tigers didn’t spend a ton of resources in recruiting him but found out quickly as he went on to become a three-year starter. His beautiful wife, Connie, had to know it when he proposed and she said yes. Philadelphia Eagles fans have known it for almost 25 years now.
It’s hard to imagine that he once came into camp as the backup to Eric Zomalt as Greg Jackson was allowed to leave in free agency (there’s a trivia question for you).
