One of my favorite NFL pics of all time.
Best thing you can say about Dawkins, he never shortchanged the fans. He left it all on the field. Here was his statement via Twitter.
“The Lord has blessed me to play in the NFL for 16 years. I would like to thank the Eagles & the Broncos 4 believing In me. I would like 2 thank all my teammates & Coaches that I have been blessed 2 go to battle with. Along with u, the fans 4 helping make my career 1 that i have enjoyed tremendously. In other words. I am announcing my retirement from the NFL.”
