Brian Dawkins is the most beloved Philadelphia Eagle ever and I'm not sure there's a close second.

Brian Dawkins is a damn hero. He just took a moment during his own Hall of Fame speech to talk about depression. There’s nobody like this man.

As a Cowboy fan, I'm not fond of the Eagles. But I love me some Brian Dawkins, and I had the privilege of getting to know him at the other network. Great player, good man.

Brian Dawkins: "The majority of the success I have had has come on the back of pain. … I was actually planning the way I would kill myself so my wife would get the money. But what that pain did for me, it increased my faith exponentially."#Eagles #HOF
