Ex-Eagle, Bronco Brian Dawkins calls it quits

Veteran safety Brian Dawkins is retiring
from the NFL after 16 seasons.
Dawkins posted the news on his Twitter account Monday, thanking
the teams he played for, his coaches and teammates and fans.
Dawkins spent his first 13 seasons with the Eagles and
his last three with the Denver Broncos.
He suffered a serious neck injury in December that sidelined him
for the stretch run and the Broncos' two playoff games.
"I would like to thank the Eagles & the Broncos 4 believing in
me," he tweeted. "I would like 2 thank all my teammates & coaches
that I have been blessed 2 go to battle with. Along with u, the
fans 4 helping make my career 1 that I have enjoyed tremendously.
In other words. I am announcing my retirement from the NFL."
