The NFL announced today that former NFL head coach Tony Dungy will lead a new NFL Player Advisory Forum that will involve a regular series of meetings in various cities with NFL players to help provide input to the commissioner’s office on policies, programs and issues that affect the lives of players on and off the field.
Brian Dawkins is one of the players involved, along with fellow Pro Bowlers Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens and Kurt Warner of the Arizona Cardinals.
“It’s an honor and privilege to work with Coach Dungy,” Dawkins said. “This will be a great new way for players working with Coach Dungy to be part of the process of improving the league for everybody.”
Some of the topics discussed will include player health and safety, personal conduct, game rules and procedures, career transition and player development.
Dungy will organize the meetings, identify the players in attendance and develop a list of topics for discussion. Commissioner Roger Goodell will attend each meeting, and the NFL Players Association has been invited to send a representative.
“Input from the players to the commissioner’s office and vice versa is so important in helping our league and our players be the best they can be, on and off the field,” Dungy said. “The commissioner asked me if I would lead this initiative and to me it is exciting to be in a position to help our players.”
This is a great thing, puting together a player advisory forum. Brian never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for working on something so important.
It is really hard to believe that that same man pictured above turns in to “Weapon X” on game day.
I haven’t said this since Steve Atwater. We have one of the best safeties in the game. Cheers.
LOL @ brian!! But that’s what I love about this guy… he does it all, literally. He’s a monster on the field but a class-act with a heart of gold off the field. Makes me respect him that much more. That’s one awesome dude up there!
Brian Dawkins is just a classy guy. Period. That’s all there is to it. He is concerned about palyers as well as people in general…not some of the young nfl players you get these days. It is absolutly and examply of how people shpould be in the NFL, yet some just don’t see the good in doing good things…but we will have Dawkins at least for another year I hope…so we will be a world class organization allways!
go broncos
I am so happy to see that there are Christian athletes I am so pleased with Dawkins and my son adores him. I was a security guard with the broncos in the 1980s and it was great to see them in the prayer circle Tony Dungy is a Christian and it is awsome to see them give God the Glory when they win. I hope they will join the QB club. Since I live so far away it is hard to get there but it is exciting to have people able to meet and get the autographs. John Dutton and his wife are Missionaries now and can be found at teh Dutton foundation.
Brain Dawkins is an incredible guy on and off the field. He’s contributed so much to the Broncos and hasn’t even been in Denver for a year! Keep it up #20. We love ya.
I really have become a fan of Dawkins…he can still bring it. Who knows where our defense would be without him. I hope he can lead to defense to a Victory on Sunday. This game is the most important game of our season and it will decide a lot about who will win the division.
This makes me more proud of Brian Dawkins and The Denver Broncos than a win.
