He excelled as a special teams player. He was a co-captain with the Colts. Early yearsBorn in Welch, West Virginia, Hawkins graduated from South Charleston High School in 1955. College careerFrom {{nowrap|1956–58,}} Hawkins played college football at South Carolina; he rushing for 1,491 yards and was voted the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) player of the year as a senior and was a third-team All-American. NFL careerHawkins was the thirteenth player selected in the 1959 NFL Draft, but was released in mid-September by first-year head coach Vince Lombardi of the {{nowrap|Green Bay Packers.[1]}} The first four rounds of the draft were held in early December 1958, nearly two months before Lombardi was hired. Hawkins was picked up by Baltimore Colts, and they repeated as NFL champions his rookie season, defeating the New York Giants {{nowrap|31–16}} in the title game in Baltimore. In his final season in 1968, Hawkins was special-teams captain for the Colts in Super Bowl III, in which the heavily-favored Colts were upset {{nowrap|16–7}} by Joe Namath and the New York Jets on January 12, 1969. During the 1968 season, the Colts had a record of {{nowrap|13–1}} under head coach Don Shula, although Hawkins' playing time was limited. During a nine-year NFL career, Hawkins rushed for 10 touchdowns and his 129 pass receptions included 12 touchdown passes. He also returned punts and kickoffs. Hawkins acquired the nickname "Captain Who" prior to a Baltimore Colts game with the Chicago Bears, when the team captains were being introduced to each other before the game. Bears' Hall of Fame linebacker Dick Butkus responded to the official's reference to "Captain Hawkins" by blurting out "Captain Who?" In the 1970s, Hawkins worked as a color commentator for Falcons radio, and for TVS' Thursday night World Football League (WFL) telecasts and CBS' NFL telecasts. In 1977, the NFC Championship Game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys was televised by CBS and covered by play-by-play announcer Vin Scully with Hawkins as color commentator. Hawkins said that he hoped that the Cowboys would win, because "I've always been a Cowboy fan." [2] At one point, 35-year-old Dallas quarterback Roger Staubach was shown jogging onto the field, and Hawkins commented to Scully, "Roger runs like a sissy, doesn't he?"[3] To which Scully responded, "Did you wear a helmet when you played?"[4]. Hawkins was arrested during a traffic stop a few days after the championship game,[2] and later was fired by CBS.[5] DeathHawkins died at HarborChase Assisted Living and Memory Care in Columbia, South Carolina on September 12, 2017, at the age of 80.[6] References1. ^{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=zwEqAAAAIBAJ&sjid=zSUEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6939%2C2878916 |work=Milwaukee Journal |last=Johnson |first=Chuck |title=Babe Parilli is dropped by Packers |date=September 15, 1959 |page=14, part 2}} 2. ^1 {{cite news| last = Rosen| first = Ron| date = 1978-01-07| title = Weaving 'Hawk' flagged down| url = https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1978/01/07/weaving-hawk-flagged-down/01c789df-f997-4971-94be-4842bb41ef49/| work = Washington Post| access-date = 2017-07-09}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=1977 NFC Champ Minn vs Dal part 2 (13:15)|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2zMmd14bNs|website=YouTube|accessdate=17 February 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=1977 NFC Champ Minn vs Dal part 2 (13:29)|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2zMmd14bNs|website=YouTube|accessdate=17 February 2017}} 5. ^{{cite news| last = Guest| first = Larry| date = 1992-01-09| title = Hawkins took many detours after football| url = http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1992-01-09/sports/9201090380_1_alex-hawkins-john-brodie-life-after-football| work = Orlando Sentinel| access-date = 2017-07-09}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thestate.com/sports/college/university-of-south-carolina/usc-football/article173033391.html|title=South Carolina football great Alex Hawkins dies|author=Lou Bezjak|publisher=The State|accessdate=September 13, 2017|date=September 13, 2017}} External links
