Anthony James Hawkins (March 31, 1958 – October 7, 2015) was a former American football linebacker in the National Football League (NFL). He was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 10th round of the 1980 NFL Draft. He played college football at Texas A&M-Kingsville. Hawkins had 5.3 career sacks, and is the one of only three players (the others were the other two players involved in the sack) in the history of the NFL to accomplish this. His one third of a sack came in 1982 while Hawkins was on the Buccaneers. On November 29, 1982, in a 23–17 win against the Miami Dolphins, Hawkins was one of two other players to sack quarterback Don Strock, and it was subsequently decided to award each of the three players involved in the sack one third of a sack.
Hawkins brother Mike also played in the NFL for the New England Patriots.
Hawkins died on October 7, 2015, at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital, in Houston, Texas.[1]
