Eagles running back Terrell Watson, linebacker Mychal Kendricks, cornerback Ron Brooks, and linebacker Najee Goode were joined by NFL hopeful and Temple alum Dion Dawkins to help draft puppies for the two teams at the Puppy Bowl: Team Ruff and Team Fluff. Morris is no stranger to the Puppy Bowl; dogs from its shelter are often included in the big event.
