[edit] Scouting Report

Pro Football Weekly 2005 NFL Preview's analysis of Dawkins: "A decapitator in the open field, Dawkins moves with ease, changing direction and covering like a cornerback. Because of his versatility and intelligence, Dawkins is the key to the Philadelphia defense. He's never out of position, always in front of the play and has closing speed to make plays in front of him and in his periphery."
