Six former Washington Redskins’ defensive players are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I’m counting real Redskins. Not the mercenaries who showed up for a quick payday at the end of their careers – guys like Deacon Jones, Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders, and Jason Taylor. (BTW, fun fact: Three of those names are in the top ten most popular surnames in the United States, while the fourth, Sanders, is in the top 75. Moral: If you are a signing a mercenary, he’s likely to have a generic last name).
Compare that to the eleven Redskins offensive players in the Hall.
