As huge fans of the mighty Redskins, we are always interested in learning more about our favourite team and its players. For example, did you know that the Washington Redskins were not always known as the mighty Washington Redskins? In fact, they were originally known as the Boston Braves, but changed their name after just one year!
Only 5 years after the name change in 1938, halfback Andy Farkas ran the wrong way and was tackled for a safety. Farkas, however, went from goat to hero when he led the Redskins to a 7-5 comeback win over the Detroit Lions.
Did you know that legendary defensive back Darrell Green won the title of ‘fastest man in the NFL’ four times in a row?
Can you name the Washington Redskins quarterback who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1983?
