'Weapon X' Brian Dawkins Returns to His High School to Celebrate HoF Career

Former Philadelphia Eagle Brian Dawkins is considered one of the greatest safeties in NFL history. He was drafted in the second round of the draft out of Clemson by the Eagles in 1996. Throughout his career he was named to nine Pro Bowls and became the first NFL player with 30 forced fumbles and 30 interceptions, earning the nickname of "Weapon X."

He is now in the Eagles Hall of Fame, and the team retired his No. 20 jersey. The Ford Hometown Hall of Famer returned to William M. Raines High School in Jacksonville, Florida, to celebrate his achievements and speak to his alma mater in the video above.
