Dawson was signed as an undrafted
free agent by the Oakland Raiders,
who then waived him. He was picked up by the New England Patriots
and assigned to the practice squad, but never appeared in a game
for them. The Browns signed him as a free agent in March of 1999,
and he has remained with the team ever since (and is the only player left from the 1999 squad). Dawson holds the team record
for most consecutive field goals made (27), and has the most field
goals in a game(6). Dawson is currently the 2nd most accurate kicker in the NFL behind Adam Vinatieri. Dawson scored the first points in the history of the new Cleveland Browns.
On October 10, 1999, he scored the only touchdown of his career on a fake field goal against the Bengals in a 18-17 loss.
