Important Dates in Bills History, presented by M&T Bank, helps fans recognize what’s important. In the NFL, maintaining a solid defensive line is important and 22 years ago today the Bills reinforced their defense by securing free agent NT Ted Washington.
Due to his large stature and booming presence on the field, the stout nose tackle was commonly referred to as “Mt. Washington” throughout his 17-year NFL career. Standing at 6-5 and weighing in at 375 pounds in his heyday, Washington was a physical and dynamic playmaker. A Louisville product, Washington was drafted in 1991 in the first round by the San Francisco 49ers.
