Clifton Alexander "Alex" Hawkins (born July 2, 1937) is a retired American football player who played running back for the Baltimore Colts and Atlanta Falcons. He excelled as a special teams player. He was a co-captain with the Colts. Hawkins acquired the nickname "Captain Who" prior to a Baltimore Colts/Chicago Bears game, 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 WFL telecasts and CBS' NFL telecasts.
