Brian Dawkins helped the Eagles land Jon Runyan in 2000.

Dave Spadaro caught up with Runyan on Episode 7 of the Eagles Live podcast to recount the process that led to the right tackle leaving Tennessee for Philadelphia.

Runyan had come off a Super Bowl appearance with the Titans and wanted to play for a contender. Runyan also entered the league as a fourth-round pick and "didn't hit the jackpot out of college." He knew this was his one opportunity.

Based on need and salary cap space, Philadelphia was a perfect fit for Runyan's talent.
