Emmitt Thomas is making sure to pack extra Kleenex for his trip to Canton this weekend for Brian Dawkins’ Hall of Fame induction.
“It’s going to be a tear-jerking experience for all of us,’’ said Thomas. “It’s a great honor that he wants us there. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”
Thomas, 75, who played for the Kansas City Chiefs and was inducted into the Hall of Fame himself in 2008, was the Eagles’ defensive coordinator under Ray Rhodes during Dawkins’ first three years in Philly.
Rhodes will be in Canton this weekend, as will former Eagles coach Andy Reid.
