Brian Dawkins elected to Hall of Fame, John Lynch must wait at least another year

MINNEAPOLIS — Brian Dawkins, known to many as “Weapon X,” will now be known to all as a Hall of Famer.

On the eve of Super Bowl LII, the former Eagles and Broncos safety was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, joining Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, Brian Urlacher and Ray Lewis, plus senior selections Robert Brazile and Jerry Kramer, and contributor Bobby Beathard in the Hall’s Class of 2018.

The Hall’s 47-member selection committee convened for more than eight hours in Bloomington, Minn., reviewing each candidate and narrowing the list of modern-era players from 15 to 10 and then the final five.
