When the Eagles hired Brian Dawkins as a football operations executive fewer than two years ago, many Eagles fans envisioned a scenario where Dawkins, one of the most popular players to ever play for the franchise, might some day become the team’s general manager.
Well, it doesn’t look like that’s ever going to happen.
The five-time All-Pro safety, who will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton on August 4, told the Inquirer and Daily News on Tuesday that he is leaving the organization.
Dawkins said he plans to start a philanthropic venture that will allow him to affect people’s lives.
