Charles Mann, who sacked quarterbacks and won titles as a member of the legendary Super Bowl-winning Washington Redskins teams of the 1980s and ‘90s, added a new honor to his resume Sunday — the D.C. Sports Hall of Fame.
“I’m excited,” Mann said before Sunday’s induction at Nationals Park. “My name will forever be up on this banner … Being recognized in the town where I’ve lived and where I’ve made and had my successes, it is quite an honor.”
The former defensive lineman, who was named to two All-Pro squads, made four Pro Bowls and won three Super Bowls during his 12-year NFL career, has been a fixture in the Washington area since his playing days, founding the Good Samaritan Foundation with former teammates Art Monk, Tim Johnson and Earnest Byner to help area youth.
