It was 1941 when Jacobson, a Silver Spring, Md., resident, first fell in love with the burgundy and gold. The team's quarterback back then? None other than the great Slingin' Sammy Baugh.
"He was great," Jacobson told Larry Michael, the Voice of the Redskins, during camp last August. "I haven't seen another one like him."
But now that she has personal connections with the team — several players and Redskins owner Dan Snyder have made it a point to come say hello and take a picture with her when she comes to visit training camp the past two years — Jacobson can't help but point out the work being done by this current Redskins squad, which won the NFC East Division this season.
