Hopefully this won’t make you feel old, but John Riggins, Riggo himself, is now 68 years old. It’s been 35 years since he helped the Redskins win the Super Bowl following the strike-shortened 1982 season.
Maybe this will make you feel better about being old. The following year, in 1983, Riggins broke the record for rushing touchdowns in a season with 24. The record has since been broken, but Riggins was 34 years old at the time (106 in football years). That’s no small feat, and it was enough to vault Riggins into the Hall of Fame.
