The only way to understand just how beloved Dawkins is in Philly is to realize that when he returned to the linc for the first time since leaving the eagles, fans wore his broncos jerseys to the game. As a lifelong eagles fan, that does not usually happen.

[@akingdomservingking9311]

Woooow!!!! That speaks volumes, but I'm not surprised especially after watching his highlights seeing his Hall of Fame speech and learning about him I'm a long time Cowboy fan I'm thinking about getting one of his Eagles jerseys OUT OF TOTAL AND COMPLETE RESPECT = for him being a TRUE of God as I strive to be, his intensity passion and style of play, my birthday is the 20th of April, and I'm also a big fan of Wolverine.

[@mattiej2311]

It is astonishing to me that someone with his level of intensity does not curse. One of my favorite Philly athletes ever 💚

[@jautonnboyd4070]

That is knowing were your strength comes from. Many will never understand it. Most don't believe it, but God is the reason he was able to play the game the way he did. Don't take it from me watch his interviews and you will see a God Fearing Man who God granted talent that can't be taught.

[@phillysburghsteagles8208]

One of my all-time favorite Eagles players. I was at the Eagles game against the Broncos when he returned to the Linc. Eagles fans went crazy. I have a Broncos Dawkins jersey and it's my most worn jersey.

[@pplRretards]

Imo there is no one on a defense that can impact a game as much as an hard hitting safety like Dawkins! If you want to see just how impactful a hard hitting safety can be in a game go back and watch the Seattle Seahawks vs Denver Broncos game where Kam Chancellor sent a message when Manning threw his first pass to Demaryius Thomas! Kam lit DTs world up! After that play I knew the game was over! Every WR especially DTs head was on a swivel and WRs was dropping passes left and right after that one hit! Chancellor had 10 tackles, a fumble recovery, 2 pass deflections and a interception that game and should've been without a doubt the SB MVP of that game! Brian Dawkins is my absolute favorite Safety of all time tho as his passion to me was unmatched!

Look at some of the names this guy hits. Jerome Bettis was known as The Bus, and Dawkins flattened him like he was a pedestrian. He strips the ball from LaDainian Tomlinson, takes it in, and Tomlinson can't catch him. Between sacks and interceptions, he victimizes Michael Vick 3 times in this video. Steve Young. Terrell Owens. Rodney Hampton. Ben Roethlisberger. These guys were fast and tough, and Dawkins absolutely laid waste to them.
