It will undoubtedly be an emotional night at the Linc. Note the Eagles website emphasizes the show up for opening kickoff early for some pre-game festivities. Wouldn't be surprised if that involves B-Dawk in some capacity.

Some of the current Eagles still view Dawkins as one of their best teammates ever, such as sure-handed wide receiver Jason Avant, "I like the way he carried himself in the locker room, what he stood for and how he played. It’s rare to find guys that practice what they preach. And he did it."
