Two adults and three children were on the boat when Dawson,
37, fell into Lavon Lake, northeast of Dallas, on Sunday night.
Alcohol is not suspected to be a factor in the incident and no
one else has been reported missing, Texas Game Warden and local
fire department officials said.
Family members told broadcaster NBC-5 that Dawson was not
wearing a life preserver and may not know how to swim.
The Cleveland Browns drafted Dawson in 2000 and he played there
for two seasons. He also played with the Houston Texans and
Indianapolis Colts.
During his four seasons in the National Football League, he had
52 receptions for 664 yards and two touchdowns, according to the
league's statistics.
