In this week’s Rewarding Moments in Redskins History presented by Maryland Lottery My Lottery Rewards, we reflect on Darrell Green's Redskins career that lasted 20 seasons.
It’s 1983 and the Washington Redskins had the last pick of the first round in the NFL Draft. With the 28th-overall pick the Redskins chose little-known Texas A&I University cornerback, Darrell Green.
Despite being an undersized player from a small school, Green, of course, went on to play 20 seasons with the Redskins. On Wedensday, the Pro Football Hall of Famer celebrated his 57th birthday.
With his outstanding career, it is difficult to isolate a rewarding moment without mentioning them all.
