"That's the only time in my career that I didn't come out for warm-ups," Dawkins said of his return to Philly. "Cause I couldn't. I couldn't stop crying."

Dawkins was destined to end his career with the Eagles, but instead spent his final three years in the league with the Denver Broncos. Regardless, the Hall-of-Fame safety is an Eagle for life, and rightfully so.

In 13 seasons with Philly, he made the Pro Bowl seven times and was a four-time All-Pro. Dawkins started 182 of 183 games with the Eagles while posting 914 total tackles, 21 sacks, 32 forced fumbles, 16 fumble recoveries, 34 interceptions, 132 passes defended and three defensive touchdowns.
