I’m not even an eagles fan but man how do you not love this guy. Eagles fans are lucky to have a man like that in their franchise history.
As an Eagles fan I can 100% hold my head high and Dat the man is by far my favorite player!!! Too bad all my stuff and dawkins memorabilia got stolen not to long ago!
@@depthsofmymind4492 man that sucks. I’ve personally lost all my sports memorabilia too. Hopefully karma catches up to whoever stole your stuff bro.
@@Killacam1992 it will
Easily my fav athlete ever in our city, only Reggie could be compared. We can thank Andy Reid the GM for not resigning him thanks to the idiotic rule they had about not keeping players over 30. And the national sports fans don’t get why we had issues w Andy
We were truly blessed. Great player and role model.
Such a shame he never got a ring with the birds absolute legend of a player
he did. as a staff member with the scouting team and a little bit of player coaching and development for the eagles in 2017
@@thekingmango9829 I know but deserved one as a player on the field came so close so many times during his career.
@lukestoloff2213 as a diehard birds fan I always wish bdawk got 1 too DEFINANTLY deserved 1 I mean literally 5 chances 4 times om the cusp in the NFC championship game and our offense choked and 1 superbowl where again our offense specifically Donavan choked def a shame
And man
Him and Vick Leo Sheppard was bad ass for Phil eagles
We could use him now. Not just the talent but the passion.
The greedy ends up with less.
Blankenship is bad. No brian dawkins but I like him at fs
@@briancox6134 Eagles been losing, ever since he made that post.
His is still involved with the franchise
As a Dallas fan, this man left me sleepless on many Saturday nights knowing he was going to be a major problem on Sunday. I absolutely loved his physicality, but hated he was an Eagle. With Respect 💯
I’m an Eagles fan and that’s exactly how I feel with Micah Parsons right now. Our fans just don’t know it yet
Imagine losing sleep over watching football 😂
Me too Bradley I’m a longtime Giants fan. Those sleepless Saturday nites turned into nightmares because I knew what was coming! I have nothing but respect for him!!!! 🦅🦅🦅
Nothing made me happier in life. Dawkins kicking Cowboy ass!!! GO EAGLES!!!!!!
Fly eagles fly!!
As a Philly kid in the early 2000’s B Dawk was a mythical creature in our eyes 😂 I still remember that Crumpler hit like it happened yesterday! I Appreciate him for all the memories and excitement he brought to the South Philly community 💯 if you are from SP then you know exactly what I mean!
literally the most clean safety hit lol
Mythical creature indeed. BDawk was something special
Philly in general bro. I still remember when he went to the broncos. I was so mad.
FACTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was a bad ass safety cornerback besides McCabb and ducsie Staley 🔥🔥🔥😃😮
Even as a Ravens fan, I was honored to him get inducted into the Hall of Fame on the same night as Ray Lewis. Two of my all-time favorite players based on the pure emotions they brought to their teams.
yes! ravens super bowl this year man
@@hamzamustafa5521 I hope so. That schedule of ours, not gonna be easy.
@@michaelhession2105 If the eagles get beaten in the playoffs, for sure rooting for the ravens. They deserve a super bowl for sure. By the way, beat the niners.
@@trollface774they did!!! Whooo
@@depthsofmymind4492 thank goodness
“I’m like Michael Jackson before he went crazy, I’ll be there” 🔥😭
🤣🤣
Lmaooo
I heard that 😂
Coming from someone who spent his childhood idolizing and watching him play every Sunday, I’m so thankful he kept fighting and is still with us today.
It’s hard to overstate how much of a privilege it was to watch safeties in the 2000s. Dawkins, Reed, Polamalu, Lynch all HOF and entertaining as anyone can imagine
Sean Taylor and his short, but brilliant career, too.
Loyer Malloy, Ty Law, Ronde Barbe, John Lynch, troy palamalu.....
They’d all be fined each week as soft as the league is now
@philiphouseman75 first rule about Ronde is we don't take about Ronde
Sean Taylor too
This is one of the best ones made. An infectiously inspirational human being.
9:12 Eli running for his life lmao gold.
Football was at its peak in the 2000’s. The athleticism was on par with today’s athletes, but the toughness from the previous generations was still there. Hitting was still allowed and it was an actually fun product to watch each week. And before all the people come flooding in about head injuries, mf’ers we/they signed up for this game! I’m a professional boxer. I know the risks of it. I WANTED to do it. These men WANTED to play this game and knew the risks. It’s why everyone can’t play football. It’s what made these men great. Because of the risk
Dang I teared up a few times on this one.
Brian Dawkins was an athlete, hero, maniac, and savage rolled into one. He will forever be one of Philadelphia’s patron saints. God bless that man ✊💯
Dawkins defined an era of hard hitting safeties. He was sight to behold in his prime.
You didn't have to be an Eagles fan to appreciate Weapon X in his prime. A hybrid linebacker/safety like no other.
B Dawk, I'm still pissed the Eagles let you go. But I'm super thankful for you and that you're back in the nest.
Absolutely incredible player and person. Him transforming into Weapon X when the game started wasn’t an exaggeration. He turned into that alter-ego and played his heart out. That’s why he achieved legend and HOF status.
That Eagles secondary during the Jim Johnson defensive coordinator days, was extremely tough.
They were extremely overrated with the exception of 20
@@JamesKeyso Brian Dawkins, Troy Vincent, Bobby Taylor, Al Harris, Lito Sheppard, Sheldon Brown, Asante Samuel, Michael Lewis, Quintin Mikell ????
@@Thejuice1998I loved em all. Iv been recently trying to get a Vincent jersey. Hard to find
Brian Dawkins made playing safety exciting
So you have never heard of steve atwater or ronny lott...I could go on and on and name 10 more...but clearly you dont know the history of the game
Brian Dawkins was right up there the greatest thats right Lottand Atwater.
@mitchbrown6652 are you saying Brian Dawkins isn't in the same category of those people? Because it SOUNDS like that's what you're saying 🤣
@@Bakuru No? Clearly what I am saying is that those players made playing safety exciting BEFORE Dawkins was around. Did you read the original comment that I am responding to? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@mitchbrown6652 I did read it. Did you? Because he never said Dawkins was the ONLY safety that made the position, he simply recognized him as someone that did LOL context is very important bro
Brian Weapon X Dawkins was the most dangerous Safety in nfl history what a brilliant career with Eagles and Broncos a 2nd Round by Philadelphia in the nfl draft 1996 the Clemson Tigers alumni the only Clemson Tiger to be indicated into the pro football hall of fame
Weapon X is the wolverine of NFL HISTORY
This is my favorite player and the only reason I tried playing football as a kid. Dawkins was the GOAT at his position.
It's so awesome that he was on the staff of that super bowl team and finally helped Philly get that ring
Dawkins Was A Different Breed.
Different Era of Football
One of the best
Legend & a role model !!
He is the one that put the passion for this game in me and the reason why i love the Eagles
Man you still see the passion and grit on his face in the beginning when he’s walking out the tunnel into the stadium. Man is a true warrior
If i had to go across middle while this man was on other side - i think i would legit cry.
Brought me to tears. Love the love he showed the city with his character and his play on the field.
My favorite player of all time. He's the reason I'm a Eagles fan. He played the game the way it's supposed to be played. A real nightmare for opposing teams. A one man wrecking ball. A true weapon X.
As a friend to Brian and a former Eagle myself, I too suffered greatly from suicidal thoughts and deep depression. But God….
God bless you brother. My 22 year old son sent this to me and told me to watch because the Doc reminds him of me… ( I shed one) I was not in the NFL but I served two tours in Iraq and I suffer from depression … people assume you have to be down and out… not the case at all
Watching football for 30 years. He and eddie george are without a doubt my 2 favorite players
That's right as a Dallas Cowboys Football fan Since the late 90s that's right I'm glad he got his ring and Won a Championship great player these type of videos get emotional.
They don’t make him like this anymore man, AWESOME player but even more amazing man. Well-deserved Hall of Fame induction.
I don't think I've ever had as much love and admiration for a complete stranger than B Dawk. Favorite Eagle growing up and he's the reason that I not being from Philly became a Birds fan. Love this guy!!!!
This has to be one of the best football life’s I’ve seen so far 🔥👏🏾💯 Dawk was a mfkn Monster and I say this as a Dallas fan 🔥🔥🔥🔥
this man was the entire reason i started watching football, his personality, that shaded visor, the plays he would make. He not only got me into football, but an Eagles fan for life. Thanks Brian Dawkins. Still wear his jersey every sunday.
The intensity and passion Brian showed every time he took the field was legendary, and growing up watching one of the best ever is something I will always cherish. Even to this day, the impact he continues to have on the game as well as off the field advocating for mental wellbeing is incredible. Thank you Weapon X, and congratulations on a very well deserved place in football immortality.
Depression is a crutch and a motivator. What a great dude. An inspiration.
B DAWK something special being able to scream it from the stands at their home games ❤❤❤❤
They dont make them like Brian Dawkins anymore
I'm a diehard Baltimore Ravens fan since 96. Ray Lewis is my all time favorite player, but I've always had love for Weapon X 💪🏿
Hugh Jackman was Logan
Brian Dawkins was Weapon X
Imagine a fantasy defense with Dawkins, Lott, Lewis, and Taylor on it.
Singletary Atwater alzado romonowski also
Can't leave out ED Reed.
@@ezyszn7300yes sir
If you put them together today they’ll play a combined 60 minutes at best with how many suspensions they’d get 😂
opposing teams would literally have nightmares against that team
No doubt about it one of are all time favorite and greatest Philadelphia Eagles of all time the wolverine Brian Dawkins weapon x ..lets go Fly 🦅 Eagles 🦅 Fly
He was like a modern day crusader on that football field.. the man was coming with everything he had and his faith was leading the way.. he was a legend..
God put a good man in the right places, Amen 🙏!!!!!
Oh hell yes! Love Weapon X
As a life long Dallas fan. I still deal with depression and suicide everyday. This is something that helps. My grandmother out of Texas raised me on thr cowboys but in another life if I was not a fan of any team and saw this video I would definitely be a Philly fan. Respect to B Dawk.
A interception, a sack, fumble recovery and a TD reception in one game.. smh legendary
Releasing this right before the Dallas game! Love it!!! #FlyEaglesFly 🦅
And how’d that play out 😂 DC4L 💙🤍 but major respect to for this man!
@@greenslugs1648 lol y'all still choking on the first round FlyEaglesFly 🦅🦅🦅
Litterly my favorite player in midnight green to ever play the game. I miss his fire so much, his play, his attitude, everything. He is what we call a true eagle.
I will come out of this darkness and win in life, love 2 B dawk From Philly 💯
This man raised me, my favorite human being in the whole world. Thank you for being the greatest role model, I have ever had.
He embodied everything you want in a football player. He played hard, played physical, tough played with so much passion and he had alot of heart.
Still my number one eagles player. What a great man.
One of the very very best loved watching him it doesn't matter if you win the super bowl that doesn't mean he wasn't and incredible football player
Prays God with faith you can do all things
All time favorite player growing up I luved in tampa florida but played for the pal eagles tbyfl and from age 7 I was an eagles fan and loved Dawkins
God bless you Brain Dawkins, & your beautiful family as well. One of my favorite players!!
I love it when that man said Duuvaallll I shook his hand never forget where you come from 🤔😭🤓🙏🏾
Seeing him on the front of that Super Bowl parade float was one of the happiest moments of my sports life. Even tho he wasn’t part of the win on the field just being able to see him up there and holding the trophy made me happy
Phenomenal player and man. Just wow 🤩
That hit on tim carter was wild. A flying tackle. This man was really a weapon. He did whatever he had to do to make a play
in a era that had Reed & Troy, B Dawk was right there in my opinion. Aged well to post Eagles with Denver.
those 2 hits vs Atlanta, one vs Vick @ the vet that knocked wind out of 7
+ Algae Crumpler KO hit in NFC championship game 🔥🔥🔥
B Dawk was a beast! Loved watching him play! My favorite Eagle of all time
Still gives me goosebumps seeing the passion Dawk has. 💪🏻💪🏻
I am someone who goes through depression and anxiety seeing Dawkins playing got me into playing football as s a teen then i got the privilege to meet him a few years ago and it was life changing the advice he gave me i carry still today and helped me turn my life around BDawk is a legend on and off the field #20
2000's had all the best safeties and B-Dawks (Weapon X) is one of them. Appreciate and respect his accomplishments on and off the field. Mainly off the field and sharing personal demons and over came them. Peace and respect to Brian Dawkins. #20
Thanks for increasing your faith and finding a way Brian. Well done my Brother.
I pray in your race. You finish it well.
I love these docs. Great work NFL!
As a Steelers fan I admire and respect Brian Dawkins
I honestly missed the great years of football, I just started getting into football cause for once in my life I decided to stay sober. I owe my life to sports keeping me busy. Thankful for these videos.
I'll always have 1 regret that I couldn't get a Dawkins Jersey while he was playing ❤ Love you Weapon X
His passion for the game was truly infectious and he was definitely one of the best safeties and players ever
Love This Brotha ❤! Thank You Brian Dawkins!!! #4EverAnEagle 🦅 #BirdGang!!! There would NEVER be another #20!!!! 🏈!!!!
Could feel his energy
I’m not a eagles fan, I’m from Philly and I love B Dawk 💯
Still idolize this Man today, Best jersey ill ever wear ! Love me some BDAWK !
Brian Dawkins is the reason I played football and I only wanted to play defense I was small but it didn't matter I wanted to be weapon x so it didn't matter how big they were just like B Dawk said I want to see his soul I want to see how bad he wants it amazing quote
I get the chills Everytime I see him coming out that tunnel 😤
Favorite player growing up him and Steve Smith
Not sure what happened to the original video of this video or why it got taken down because I remembered I watched this video back in 2019 whenever I was learning about Brian Dawkins along with the Philadelphia Eagles history.
Bur after learning about Brian Dawkins, man, Truly one of my favorite Philadelphia Eagles players ever. Although I never got to watch him play live on the field it's just the way how he plays and the way how much passion he has just truly was an inspiration to me.
Truly a great and passionate football player who cared for the game and just off the field as well being a great person as well. Much love to #20 Brian Dawkins. Weapon X!
This is honestly by far one of my favorite or even my favorite documentary of these made.
I wished I would’ve had watched Brian Dawkins played live along with those Philadelphia Eagles Teams in the early 2000s to the end of the 2000s.
But those early 2000’s Eagles teams had a stacked secondary for those teams and a great defense as well.
Jim Johnson definitely was a great defensive coordinator throughout his time with the Philadelphia Eagles. But all in all great player and person in Brian Dawkins.
One of my favorite Eagles!
But while at the same time after the early 2000s eagles teams, those early 2010s eagles teams were quite the eyes to keep on. Especially that 2010 Eagles team. Fun and explosive offense to watch by Vick, Jackson, and McCoy. Along with that 2013 eagles team with an explosive offense led by Vick, Jackson, McCoy and Nick Foles.
As well as that good Eagles 2019 team with Carson Wentz, Nelson Agholor, Zach Ertz, Miles Sanders, Alshon Jeffrey, up to even playing with practice squad members with players like Greg Ward, Boston Scott, Josh Perkins and whatnot.
To even that 2022 Eagles team as well with Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, Miles Sanders and more.
To finish this, some pretty great key role explosive players with the Eagles both offense and defense we’ve had throughout the 21st century and continuing leading up to today.
Fly Eagles Fly!
@@flashedwheat6783it was some of the best abd fulfilling parts of my life ever!! I'm 41 and love the eagles my entire life and every week I have plenty of old and new jerseys to wear and yet I still wear my white or black dawkins jerseys every week until I left town to attend a funeral a my place was robbed!!!
Its a shame that we didnt have chance to see him on the hard knocks.
Ya dig it!
DESDE MEXICO MI IDOLO BRIAN DAWKINS💚🏈
You‘re the man! This is why we‘re eagles. We get punched in the face all the time, but we stand up one time more often than we get knocked down. ❤
When I hear that Takeo Spikes story, I shake with CTE like an autistic child. I miss football
I’m just glad to have grew up while this style of football was still being played
He was extremely exciting to watch .
I'm like Michael Jackson before he went crazy I'll be there that's quote got me fashoo
Legendary.
When nfl had soul. One of the hardest hitters in history and a good soul. The old NFL is dead to me.
Lucky to of watched Brian, Sean, Bob, Kam, Troy, and Ed
Da legend Mr. X❤
Barry sanders Brian Dawkins and Sean Taylor my favorite players growing up
In this part of the video I love it when you have a player escape in the NFLtrash talk to intimidate other players and back it up that's why they get the big bucks more than NBA players but defensive players have to read and understand different offensive sets especially in the NFL vs the NBA AND as a kid from elementary up from my father he would explain everything to me and he would bet on games
you have no idea how long ive been waiting for this reupload😂
In this part of the video I remember when I was working at THE HELMSLEY PALACY and the Exeter Chef wanted me to enter JACOB JAVITS food show and I didn't want to but he forced me. It's the highest food competition in NEW YORK STATE,and I won 1st prize,it's like winning the super bowl and I didn't even realize it until I went to the award ceremony and I still remember it to this day and I have it on my resume and I can use it as a tool to get employed and employers know that banquets catering on or off functions strive for excellence is my motto.And I have told that to my kids and they do listen to me as I am there father.
