He was a very good player, actually;
We had a ton of good guys on D in those days, but the only ones that are remembered are Simmons, Spikes and JSmith.
Hawkins, Tony Williams, Oliver Gibson, Steve Foley, Daryl Williams, all excellent players that played on awful units.
If Hawkins was truly that bad, he wouldn't have started for 3 more seasons outside of Cincinnati and in NE of all places (mind you, he was a better S than CB).
Underappreciated.
