Hawkins: ‘I've done nothing wrong'
Posted Sep 19, 2010

The great side has Hawkins as a trainer and business manager for close friend, Clinton native and NFL running back Willie Parker, who roomed with Hawkins during their days together at UNC. The not-so-great side is how Hawkins is caught in the middle of the NCAA’s investigation.
