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

This is one of the best ones made. An infectiously inspirational human being.

Dawkins defined an era of hard hitting safeties. He was sight to behold in his prime.

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 ✊💯

Dang I teared up a few times on this one.

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.

It's so awesome that he was on the staff of that super bowl team and finally helped Philly get that ring

That Eagles secondary during the Jim Johnson defensive coordinator days, was extremely tough.

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.

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.

Watching football for 30 years. He and eddie george are without a doubt my 2 favorite players

Brought me to tears. Love the love he showed the city with his character and his play on the field.

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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 🔥🔥🔥🔥

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'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 💪🏿

Depression is a crutch and a motivator. What a great dude. An inspiration.

A interception, a sack, fumble recovery and a TD reception in one game.. smh legendary

Hugh Jackman was Logan Brian Dawkins was Weapon X

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.

This man raised me, my favorite human being in the whole world. Thank you for being the greatest role model, I have ever had.

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

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 🔥🔥🔥

His passion for the game was truly infectious and he was definitely one of the best safeties and players ever

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

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!
