I will be livid if he doesn't make it first ballet. I realize I bring this up yearly, but this is the year he gets in.
Statistically, it could be argued that he was the greatest safety ever. I'm not a big stats guy, but I also know these numbers back up what I saw from all of these safeties. No safety rivaled Dawkins for combined turnovers which include forced fumbles, fumble recoveries and interceptions. He was a sack and tackling machine. He's tied with Lott at 1,113.
Edit to add: Reed and Palumalu played a couple of years past the stats that are presented.
I always felt Lott and Dawkins were 1a and 1b. The stats back it up.
