Eddie Brown deserves some recognition as well, who can forget that great kick return in the rain and mud against the Cards on monday night football to win the game for us. One of the all time great monday night highlights.

You're right B.Mitch was a game changer, but I think Nelms, more than anything, reflected the personality of the team he was playing with at the time and that of Joe Gibbs.

If you guys ever wanted to know what Coach Gibbs refers to when he says a "core Skin", Mike Nelms was it; Wasn't the only one, by far, but he was one of those guys that just showed up to work day in and day out.
