“Today we’ve hired Brian Dawkins full-time to help in this regard. His title is football operations executive. He’s going to help in player development. His week here, we saw the contributions he could make to our football team.”
“We’re not putting it on Brian, either – it’s on all of us. But we feel like we’re going to get a structure in place that we’re going to give these guys the best chance to succeed.”

Last month, the Eagles brought Dawkins on as a scout as part of the Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowship provided by the NFL. Convenient timing hiring him full-time the same day they trade for Dorial Green-Beckham. Hmmm.
