Former Cal All-American football player dead at 52
Dawkins was a speedy, 6-foot-4 receiver who was a major offensive force on some of Cal’s best teams in decades while setting a pair of school records. In 1990, he helped the Bears win their first bowl game in more than 50 years with a Copper Bowl victory over Wyoming. Dawkins became an All-American after his junior season in which he caught 65 passes for 1,070 yards and 14 touchdowns for the Bears.
After declaring for the NFL draft, Dawkins was selected 16th overall in the 1993 draft by the Indianapolis Colts. He spent five seasons with the Colts, where he compiled most of his NFL career numbers of 445 catches for 6,291 yards and 25 touchdowns.
