The funny thing about Pat Fischer is—he was supposed to be on the downside of his career when he came to the Redskins.
He had already played seven seasons for St. Louis, where he was a two-time Pro Bowler. Now, he would try his luck in D.C. after going to the Skins as a free agent. The end result? Fischer played another ten seasons and left a legacy as one of the best cornerbacks in Redskins history.
The diminutive Fischer stood just 5’9” and weighed only 170 pounds. His stature made his impressive tackling all the more remarkable.
