Eddie LeBaron, the "little General" Smallest player in the league but may have had the biggest heart. A gentleman off the field too.

Who is a former Redskins player that you want fans of other teams to know about?

I plan to do a show called "The Hall of Very Good" which will include a team by team pick of "Who You Should Know About"


Redskin DE Gene Brito was an outstanding player in the 50's who seems to be forgotten. Between plays, he stood with his legs crossed, so I did too.

George Starke - the head hog
Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance
Snyder's W/L record = 45% (80-96) - Snyder/Allen = 41% (59-84-1)

Gary Clark. Tough, passionate, game-breaking wide receiver. Key player in two of Washington's three Super Bowl victories and many NFC Championship games. Better than Monk, who's in the Hall.

Really? Better than Monk? Have you fallen off your rocker old timer? If it wasn't for Monk, Clark wouldn't have been half the receiver he was. Monk was the cog who made "The Posse" who they were.

Clark was great whether Monk was in the game or not. Monk was nice to have, he was a great possession receiver and he lasted many years on the team, and racked up some great stats (which is why he's in the Hall). But Monk was injured for the '83 Super Bowl, was shut down during our loss to the Raiders in the 1984 Super Bowl, didn't play against the Broncos in SBXXII, and had less impact in the Super Bowl against the Bills. Monk was a great receiver, but as far as impact during our glory years, he had to take second to Clark IMHO.

Oops, forgot to google him.

Ok, here's another one: Martin Mayhew (CB). He's doing a nice job over there at Detriot.

Mayhew got an awful lot of work, being teamed opposite DG... but held up quite nicely, thank you very much.

Detroit is lucky to have him...

I'd have to agree with that. Clark was a very small guy .. tiny really .. I was amazed when I was standing next to him at the L&N Seafood place in Tysons Corner way back. But he was a tough little sucker ... fearless ... would take those shots over the middle and still hang on to the ball.

On the rare occasion he dropped a pass, he'd pace the sidelines cussing himself out ... the guy had passion and fire, and was a real clutch player. If you needed a guy to make a critical catch .., he's the guy I'd want to see the ball go to.

One of the all time great Redskins, and one of my personal favorites.

But lets not forget "I'm gonna clean Danny White's Clock" Dexter Manley. He was a great player ... and I also had the opportunity to speak with him a couple of times ... he was just a big kid at heart, with a dynamic personality.

Hey also I don't know if you would agree with me because his career was short because of off the field problems but I also liked Dexter Manley.

He played 11 years ... 9 years in Washington. I don't think that qualifies as shortened career. I'd say that was above average.
