description

A second-round selection in the 1996 NFL Draft, rookie Eagles safety Brian Dawkins foreshadowed the ball-hawking career that was to come on this play, getting himself perfectly positioned deep over the middle to pick off this pass before returning it 30 yards downfield. The first pick of his NFL career helped Philadelphia maintain their lead late, as they held on to beat the Falcons, 33-18, on Sept. 22, 1996.
