Russell Arthur Tillman died last Sunday.
For fans of the Washington Football Team who trace their passion for the team back to the days of Joe Gibbs or later, that name may not mean much. For those of us who go back a little farther, Rusty Tillman will always be “The King.”
The game Tillman played has been outlawed in today’s NFL.
