“I thought I would go in the first round. I thought Kansas City was going to draft me,” said Dawkins. They’re the only team that came out to take me to dinner, so I thought they would draft me. They didn’t draft me, and then I went all the way to the end of the second round. In my mind, the way that I always used it for motivation is that I considered myself to be a third-round pick. I was the last pick in the second round. I considered myself a third-round pick and used that for motivation for basically all of my career.”
