Brian Dawkins, Safety for the denver Broncos, has been featured on MuscleProdigy.com more than any other athlete and with good reason: he is the most passionate athlete of today's generation. He puts in more emotion on the football field than anyone- even ray Lewis. Check out our article The Top 10 Most Intense NFL Athletes where Dawkins unsurprisingly tops the list. His final transformation from person to Wolverine takes place in the tunnel and his pre-game entrance is testament to how much passion he has for what he does. As his former head coach Andy Reid said, he maintains that pace and keeps that intensity for all 60 minutes, staying “on fire the whole game”. Even when he isn’t on the field delivering play-making hits and turnovers, you can see him on the sidelines yelling at his teammates to “turn it up”.

Brian Dawkins epitomizes the Wolverine’s attitude of never backing down from a battle. He’ll always face confrontation. He’ll always exit his comfort zone and lay it all out there knowing that he could get hurt from the punishment he tries to deliver with every bone-jarring hit. He is intense all the time no matter what he does…from the pregame warm-up to the final tick of that clock…from early Monday morning to late Sunday night. Brian Dawkins, like the Wolverine, never backs down from a battle. He has entered that world of giving everything he’s got, acting in principle, to give it his absolute all on “every ‘doggone’ play” of the game we call life. He has pride in how he acts as a person and that’s the ultimate pride to have- more than the pride of winning a game could ever signify.

Take a page or two out of Dawkins’ playbook. Be intense, be passionate about what you do, be true to yourself, be thankful for what you have in life, treat others with the respect you think you would deserve, and make sure to always stay humble. Be the best person you can be and try to inspire those around you. Teach those around you how to better themselves. Teach those around you how to behave responsibly and how to be the best at what they do. Overall, give everything you’ve got “on every ‘doggone’ play”.
