Brian Dawkins ‘lit up’ Canton as he was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame

Wow!

That’s the best way to describe Brian Dawkins speech Saturday as he was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Using the same energy that made him one of the most popular Philadelphia Eagles ever, Dawkins lit Canton, Ohio up with one of the most emotional speeches ever issued. From the moment he walked onto the field doing his famous Wolverine entrance to when he left the podium, the crowd was energized by his energy, his story and more importantly his message.

Dawkins became the first former Clemson player enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and he let the Clemson fans back in South Carolina know it.
