Former Clemson standout and NFL great Brian DawkinsBrian DawkinsSafety (1992 – 1995)#20 6-0, 200Jacksonville, FLView Full Profile was voted as the greatest living Philadelphia Eagle in a recent poll by PhillyVoice.com.
\nDawkins actually dominated the vote with 68.03% of the vote compared to the next two vote-getters – Donnovan McNabb (8.05%) and Tommy McDonald (4.52%).
\n\u201cThat\u2019s an absolute blessing,” Dawkins said about the vote. “It\u2019s not something you set out to do when you first started playing the game. And I\u2019m no different. It\u2019s not something I set out to do. I just wanted to be my best and hopefully along the way I\u2019ll be a good player and a good player for my teammates.”
\nDawkins is still very humbled even after all the awards and acclaim throughout his playing years with the Eagles.
\n“I always think about things as much as I can from the shoes of myself when I was younger and, you know, to think that, out of all the players that have played the game of football for the Philadelphia Eagles, for the fans to see me as one of the best \u2014 if not the best \u2014 to do it is very humbling.”
\nDawkins was a 9-time Pro-Bowler, 4-time All-Pro and had 34 inteceptions, 32 forced fumbles, 21 sacks and is a member of the Eagles Hall of Fame (his #20 jersey was retired in 2012).
\nHe was drafted in the second round (61st overall) by the Eagles in the 1996 NFL Draft from Clemson.
