USA Today continued their columns of comparing today's best versus the best of the Super Bowl Era and Brian Dawkins was ranked #5 in today's ranking of safeties. The ranking seems a bit low for Dawkins' many accomplishments as an Eagle. Ranking above Dawkins on the list are: 1 - Ed Reed 2 - Bob Sanders 3 - Troy Polamalu 4 - Darren Sharper One can understand Reed being ranked higher, as Reed has achieved individual and team success.

Though the stats for Sharper are outstanding, his defensive units have not acheived the level that Dawkins has carried the Eagles to. Here's to Dawkins proving them wrong in 2008.
