During his 1996 Hall of Fame induction speech, Joe Gibbs mentioned only three players. Three. Of all the greats he coached, all the Pro Bowlers, the Hall-of-Famers, the legends, he picked only three Redskins that he identified by name.
Otis Wonsley was one of them.
The ultimate unsung hero, Wonsley mostly did two things for the Washington Redskins from 1981 to 1985: He blocked, and he played special teams. And he did both very, very well.
Wonsley arrived in D.C. as one of those unknown-but-pivotal free agents that made such a difference for the Beathard / Gibbs Redskins.
