James Thrash would be an excellent football coach; my suspicion is that he would want to start that kind of career out at the high school or collegiate level where he could be a teacher in addition to a coach. And by "teacher" I do not mean to box him into a classroom; James Thash can teach in the classroom to be sure but he also has much more to teach people about how to live thier lives in positive and productive ways.

I would not be shocked to learn that James Thrash eventually started a youth ministery focused on sports and education for kids who don't live in the "high rent district".

James Thrash will never make it into the Pro Football HoF in Canton, Ohio as a player; but he is an outstanding human being.

The Washington Redskins - - and all of the NFL to be sure - - would be proud if every player were as good a person and as helpful a citizen as is James Thrash.

Forget the football player for just a moment and focus on the fact that this is an outstanding person - - akin to Darrell Green and Charles Mann and Art Monk - - who also happened to play some football for the Washington Redskins.

Really good stuff here. The Redskins have been blessed with some real game changers both on and off the field.
