[@kazpurtfg9040]

Facts

[@riceflatpicking4954]

Driving down the interstate crying as I listened to Brian. I’ve been through so many of the same things and two months ago in December I celebrated six years clean in narcotics anonymous. If you are reading this and you are struggling, help is available. Don’t quit before the miracle. Love you Brian.

[@douglasjohnson7475]

Here's the ENTIRE list of all NFL players who have, in their careers, had at least 25+ forced fumbles AND 25+ sacks, AND 25+ interceptions: BDawk. 'Nuff Said.

[@juanbarberis7192]

Clemson product = culture + skill + 100% effort

[@alexgreen1823]

Great stat

[@kazpurtfg9040]

Nailed it bro!

[@jfrom214]

Only safety to have a sack int ff and a td in one game

[@diehardeaglesfan5681]

Legend. He completely deserves this.

[@Chasingdreams008]

DieHardEaglesFan56 Check out my channel? God bless kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5DbYZ9olKehpNk

[@DJrock888]

Brian Dawkins is someone you want to go to war with. If he can't motivate you no one can

[@paysonfox88]

I'd bring in Ray Lewis....He's pretty good too.

[@ReAlNeRd1]

Aside Ray Lewis, He is easily the most motivating player ever. As a lifetime Eagles fan he is forever beloved here by us. We’ve never had such a connection to one player ever like B-Dawk. So glad he’s enshrined into football immortality. my favorite player of All Time. we love you Weapon X.

[@proplayer566]

Dawkins is first.

[@phillymamba2791]

One of my favorite Eagles of all time. Love u B Dawk. I struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts also. I can so relate man. Praise God that the LORD used u greatly to be a great football player but most of all a great MAN OF GOD

[@deborahscully5819]

Ty Ryans Mease amen

[@Kuualaaa]

Brian Dawkins is a guy that is impossible to hate, no matter what, giants fan, cowboys fan it doesn’t matter this is a guy that deserves every single bit of respect this world could give

[@romeross1557]

As a Giants fan, i truly hate the Eagles. Hate em. But Brian Dawkins, always had respect for this man. Dude was a Warrior, and played liked it. This hof speech, just made me respect him even more than ever. Congratulations Mr Dawkins on a well deserved honor.

[@shawnsabharwal2214]

have to hate.. cuz that is what makes the NFC East so damn good. And now, we all have rings. (only division)

[@AngeloBarovierSD]

As an Eagles fan, I salute you. To declare respect for a player on a rival team is commendable. Cheers to you!

[@klveasey]

I always felt the same about LT.

[@hamhockbeans]

Gabriel Ross Stop it you are a sibling rivial like brothers. As a Eagles fan I know we both hate the cowgirls and even more the cheatriots. NFC east Champions Division.

[@MrDjones27]

Dawk the reason I root for Clemson

[@MrReece9]

I say and I quote ,"Can y'all feel that? CAN YOU FEEL that thang that's oozing outcho dawg'on hands. That thang that's beatin' in yo dawg'on chest right now. CAN YOU FEEL THAT. CAN YOU FEEL what's 'bout to happen on this field, man. CAN YOU FEEL what we 'bout to get into, dawg. And it ain't gon' be gettin' into ourselves. We gon' dig into somebody else, man. So wheneva you in dat dawg'on game. Whateva you gotta do to get whateva dats in you out to play yo behind off, LEMME GET DAT! " -Brian Dawkins

[@reeldeal2149]

That madden intro gives me the chills still

[@MrReece9]

Reel Deal Same here, brother

[@rjohnson4425]

Yass

[@Lanz22]

Arrrrrggggghhhhhh I’m ready to run through a brick wall.

[@MrReece9]

Lanz22 🤣

[@iAWiA4]

Hallelujah!!! B dawk preach about depression man... love this dude. Go birds

[@TiitsnCliits]

Will forever be my favorite player ever. His passion is almost unmatched.

[@salemram15]

The athletes who have donned Philadelphia across their chest for a big chunk of their career all say the same thing in their own individual words. The love they feel from the city is mutual. That's why we love guys like B Dawk, Iverson, Utley, Rollins, Embiid. When those guys say they love our fan base it's not just a cliche, they truly mean it, we know it's genuine.

[@gardetto265]

He fears no man but God. Has the best all around stats of anyone in his Era. Look it up. Hardest hitter, good person - cowboys fan

[@hamhockbeans]

Richer Breault As it should be brother.

[@gardetto265]

Amen, God bless man

[@demontime618]

Weapon X.... Man I'm getting old

[@willpower4life]

Domo Gotti Seriously, I still remember him on the field like it was last Sunday

[@roberttreat5499]

Thank you Mr Dawkins for your words, they touched my spirit, to help me to continue to push forward. God Bless you Sir!

[@local98guy]

We will never have another player like him on our team. His heart, the emotion, the hunger he played with. He was Philly. BDawk is the man.

[@gardetto265]

Anton Buchholz what are you talking about? We had Jarret!!

[@local98guy]

Really? Really? Jaquion Jarret?..... hoping that was sarcasm

[@gardetto265]

Anton Buchholz Haha yes I was kidding. I meant we had Sean Considine

[@local98guy]

I would totally be ok if you said Patrick Chung, but Considine is kinda pushing it lol

[@jondavidbristow9819]

Anton Buchholz I'm a Cowboys fan but it's probably a thing of the past to have a player with the heart that he had/has

[@tweezerjam]

Thats my man. Had me in tears. I love that dude. Fly Eagles Fly.

[@greggoose8182]

tweezerjam34 I was in tears as well man, it was a pleasure watching him on Sundays 🦅

[@tombradyshadycheatsquadspy5590]

The most deserving of the HOF in this class

[@RGsmokinthathunnitHMNdawgpound]

Tom Brady Shady #CheatSquad#KissMeLikeMySon#WOAT W AF

[@alexe31276]

RG3 #smokinthat3 #10hunnit #H3!5M4N #dawgpound Lemme smoke that 3 cuh

[@mjtingle1]

My favorite of the class, but this was an incredible class. Urlacher, moss, Lewis and Owens. All very deserving.

[@JZeez96]

Nah that title goes to Moss

[@JZeez96]

Bill Belzek Dawkins was great but he wasn't the greatest of all time at his position. Moss was the best WR of all time. The only person you could possibly put over him is Rice. I'd put Ronnie Lott, Ken Houston, Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu, Paul Krause and a few others all above Dawkins.

[@LenFnc]

Preach preacher! This has to be the most spiritual H.o.F. classes I’ve seen. Much respect and many blessings Mr. Dawkins!

[@jeffparker360]

I am so glad that I waited to watch this by myself so nobody could see the tears running down my face. I can’t wait to see what he does next also!! #20

[@tweezerjam]

Jeff Parker im so proud of him and to be an eagles fan. We represented!

[@billbelzek6748]

Dont be ashamed --- I cried like a baby, too

[@jasonbabilonia3037]

Jeff Parker u cool bro

[@billysgirlsX3]

Cowboy fan for 20 plus years...this man has my respect not only as player but as a human being!! Congrats BDawk you deserve it!!

[@naturenupe6]

I’m a Gamecocks fan, he’s a Clemson Tiger. I’m a Cowboys fan, he’s an Eagle. But I love me some Brian Dawkins.

[@willpower4life]

Congratulations Weapon X Brian Dawkins, you are truly a legend. Truly deserving.

[@jstiles1659]

Brain dawkins looks like a cool uncle that can relate to anybody, The eagle is home in the hof congrats

[@B88410]

He should preach. This was moving.

[@jayalex2726]

Brandon sturgis he is

[@MikeBNumba6]

Randy moss, Ray Lewis and TO as well. They all sounded like preachers at their speeches

[@ianwinfield929]

He has the voice for it

[@CrazyWork25]

Ray Lewis talking about God, lol.

[@kimvernon8223]

I agree!!!

[@dlovibgs4382]

The Greatest Eagle ever

[@blakeharris58]

Flyeaglesfly to victory Man I liked Randall.

[@dlovibgs4382]

[@jacobisagoat2168]

10/10 yay

[@oscardelara6316]

Yes sur! Wolverine

[@ethannleahbalman3257]

And then a man named wants came along...

[@mmartindre]

There's no one in Philly sports we love more then this guy!

[@gardetto265]

Michael Martin what about safety Jarret and Sean Considine?

[@michaeledwards1552]

If there's a Philly mount Rushmore he's on it

[@SportsFashionPodcast]

Dawkins ... Iverson ... the KINGS of Philly sports

[@erictolbert5769]

A.i?

[@SirBrix215]

Richer Breault: Why did you do this to us man?! I forgot about those guys. LMAO!!!!

[@reeldeal2149]

Just know when I used him in madden I abused the hit stick button.

[@j-manhoosier7373]

Reel Deal same here 😂

[@robertwilliams7267]

Him and Troy man

[@DerekSwingen]

Reel Deal almost broke my damn joystick 😂

[@jakeorr7248]

Fumble damn near EVERYTIME

[@santinotupou2812]

Hell yeah

[@MrRee-kn4xd]

A man among men. Joe Banner letting him walk was the absolute lowest moment in Eagles history. Thanks for all the memories, Bdawk, it was an honor to watch you play.

[@revo3603]

As someone who struggles with bi-polar disorder and depression who have suicidal thoughts sometimes myself this speech gave me life think you brother for being a great Eagle and an even better human being

[@joshuaking5613]

I grew up playing safety. Im a cowboys fan and i watched brian D career, hands down my fave safety, i idolized this dude. Classy leader and hell of a player. Glad to see him get in the hall. To me he was the ray lewis of safety position, vocal energenic, sacrificed body to make awesome plays

[@sampeskoff4815]

Every time I have an obstacle in my life or struggle I will always watch this. Being and Eagles Fan Dawkins always inspired me with his passion and intensity that he played with. He has gone through so much and him succeeding pushes me to be my best.

[@chazzychaz13]

Top #5 Safety all time for anyone inquiring. B Dawk changed the game at his position!!! Fly Eagles Fly!!!

[@byronmoore1995]

Listen...if he ever decides to preach...I will be front row. That HOF speech...wow. GOD continue to use this man as you see fit 🙌🏽.

[@94nolo]

*_Greatest Eagle of All Time_*

[@stephenenman5643]

Jesus is good. Thank you Brian, brought football competition. Thank you

[@quantezspann9682]

He is very underrated and unappreciated as both a person and a player. Not everyday do you hear people talking about how great Brian Dawkins or if he is a top tier safety.

[@davidstufflebean3285]

One of the best ever and man could he hit! Him, Atwater, Lott, Polamalu, Reed in no particular order.

[@djxxxplicit]

Let's not forget Sean Taylor!

[@LightYagami583]

I'm not crying got something in my eye

[@odmtruckrepair]

Best speech of day philly fans owned HOF so proud to be Eagles fan

[@ChrisWilliams-hx8fd]

That gold jacket for his wife was real playa

[@MrEOM41]

Brian Dawkins played the game with so much passion how it is meant to be played from a die hard Eagles fan thank you 🦅

[@larrysgdzthebest3009]

Who else feel this speech?

[@RGsmokinthathunnitHMNdawgpound]

Larrysgdz Thebest ik his speech was gonna be great

[@jstiles1659]

Larrysgdz Thebest me

[@mcluvin28x]

That "HALLELUJAH!" brought back so many memories It brought me to tears when I saw his teammate crying too 😭😫

[@trevorgamble6051]

Larrysgdz Thebest one of the realest speeches i have ever heard in the HOF, and it wasnt as long and dramatic as Ray Lewis

[@ZhangtheGreat]

If you didn't feel, you have no soul!

[@lukefisher8738]

Football is only a fraction of Weapon X’s talent and legacy. A truly incredible human being and amazing speech!!!!

[@arthurfla]

Pure legend. All time great

[@marlonlangham1684]

Nothing written, he spoke right from the heart. Salute! Well deserved

[@Philly-jz2fs]

Best overall safety of All Time thank u Brian Dawkins

[@mjtingle1]

FACTS!!!

[@bigkdatrucker4818]

Ed reed is.. But big dawg Dawkins is the best strong safety

[@gardetto265]

Philly0024 he's up there but I would put ronnie Lott ahead of him. Better than Reed and for sure Polamalu

[@djtapia9494]

To me the best safety was Sean Taylor to bad his career was cut short R.I.P

[@samfisher170]

Nah as much as BDawk was my fave player growing up. Ed Reed is still the GOAT safety

[@RebelwithaCause777]

I’m a diehard Cowboys fan but Brian Dawkins was one of the toughest hard nosed football players I ever watched .

[@ericjackson1052]

Michael how you feel about Dawkins is how we feel about Witten. We are rivals on the field only, off the field we just love good football and even better people.

[@fufufu418]

He saved and changed lifes with this speech!

[@desmondhampton389]

Go cubs Go There are nine people who hit the dislike button that may never understand that

[@brotherlylovestudios]

My favorite football player of all time. It’s about time B Dawk, it’s about time. #WeaponX Hallelujah!!!

[@StanManSteve]

[@lioneljoseph1026]

Lott, Atwater, Troy, Reed, B Dawkins, and Fred Taylor... Best DB's of ALL TIME....

[@jaymere2168]

One of the hardest hitting strong safeties tht played

[@joshuafodor7957]

Jay Mere216 damn and he didnt even play strong safety

[@Phinal_Flash]

He was a Free Safety.

[@ABitefLife]

Jay Mere216 weapon X was a free safety . Michael Lewis was usually the strong safety

[@realrobh]

Bro... if Brian Dawkins gave a speech on running off a cliff I would push people out the way to jump off

[@dbptown8339]

lebeR Ogun lol...I feel that

[@thesecdef4865]

Haha. With the way he speaks, people would be pushing back so they can go first

[@JohnBridstrup]

Dawg get in line I got a tent set up by the boulder I'mma chain myself to so I have to overcome adversity just to jump off

[@Rob774]

[@realfiend9186]

Richer Breault ed reed is the best safety of all time.

[@HeemTheDream32]

I’m a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan but dammit Brian Dawkins is the one and only Philadelphia Eagle that I respected his desire and will to put it all on the line on that field and do it well really made me love him as a great football player and arguably the best Philadelphia Eagle ever to play for that organization congratulations weapon X congratulations Brian Dawkins !! A well deserved Accolade and accomplishment !!!!! HOF!!!

[@geezy4583]

He's the greatest safety of all time

[@reiffmeister9792]

Best HOF speech ever. So refreshing to hear a Christian voice on the big stage. Lack of Christianity is what’s wrong with America. Thank you B-Dawk.

[@imbatman5882]

RIP Jim Johnson, he would be really proud of you.

[@gardetto265]

I'm Batman yes he would man. Dawkins was his nasty defense

[@kathylong4567]

Well said

[@marsrox2]

I'm just seeing this now after watching his Football Life episode. Brian's Football Life may have been the 1st time I cried during an episode, because I could feel his passion & pain, as I can here. Depression, thoughts of suicide, all & unfortunately mutual feelings that I & so many others have been through. My Patriots beat his Eagles in 2004, his Eagles beat my Patriots last season. But no matter what, he will ALWAYS be a champion at life. God bless this man & all of you who struggle too. We will overcome!

[@galehess6676]

That was a well-crafted speech! The nod to his coach, his wife, his parents and his kids. Classy stuff. Thanks, from PA :)

[@The-Jokes-on-You]

He played the game the right way! I almost burned all my Eagles gear when they let him leave to Denver. Love & respect this man, completely deserving of this recognition!

[@katyas-mom]

Brian C. City almost rioted. His return game as a Bronco is the only time I can remember the Eagles weren't the home team.

[@mychaelobowen509]

Much love to this man! If every person in America heard this speech, we would be so better off as a nation. God bless you, Sir.

[@lightningbrigade257]

Congrats to Mr. Dawkins and to the Eagle fans. Much respect from a Bronco fan.

[@scazermazz]

He did everything with passion including this speech. That's why Philly loved him

[@AbelFrost]

The Wolverine, Weapon X! Loved watching this man play, well deserved and EARNED gold jacket. Great speech too.

[@dennisking2586]

he's always been one of my favorites man! love what he brought to the game! he gave it his all!!

[@itsnotreagan]

As a Redskins fan I'll admit he was one of my favorites growing up well deserved weapon x

[@haydenleidyguitar3761]

Its not Reagan as a eagles fan I’ll admit besides Bdawk Sean Taylor was one of my favorite defenders to watch

[@Phinal_Flash]

Saw Sean Taylor's touchdown against us live in the 2005 season. The Skins fans in the stands went nuts.

[@itsnotreagan]

one of my favorite Sean T plays

[@djxxxplicit]

Imagine a backfield with BDawk & Sean Taylor....🔥🔥🔥

[@CrazyWork25]

I always loved Darryl Green even as an Eagles fan.

[@ricotubbs6691]

Man, his wife is BEAUTIFUL... Just lovely. Great speech B. Dawk!

[@gamenotfree]

BDawk,Tory Palmolu,Ed Reed really put an impact on the game that change the game and postions as well.

[@djlapradd5934]

Game NotFree Ed reed is going to be first ballot

[@horizonz8744]

[@chucklee2507]

One of the best safety of all time from a Panthers fan. Dawkins is amazing.

[@theothesir]

Gotta add Jerome Brown family.

[@kidphillyorg]

His biggest strength is the ability and willingness to be transparent about his failures to improve himself and to encourage others. He has surely encouraged me. Thank you Brian Dawkins!!! Go Eagles!!!
