Brian Dawkins’ style of play felt like Philadelphia – the hard hits, a symbol for the city’s toughness, coupled with a shared, unwavering passion for victory. That’s also what got him to Canton, where he’ll be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Saturday.
As Eagles fans reminisce, it’s a good time to dust off those No. 20 jerseys – assuming you’re not among the Birds faithful who still wear them out and about all the time. They’re a symbol of the era of Eagles football that Dawkins defined and a number that will never grace another Eagles jersey again.
