DENVER (CBS4) - Former Broncos safety Brian Dawkins was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night.

Dawkins played for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1996 to 2008 and was on the Broncos from 2009 to 2011.

"We're very happy for Brian Dawkins on his well-deserved election," said Broncos President and CEO Joe Ellis. "Here in Denver, Brian made multiple Pro Bowls as an inspirational leader for our team and was a standout in the community."
