Dexter Manley, the lovable man-child who showed why we wanted Dallas by practically raping Danny White

John Riggins, the charismatic anti-hero who busted through to the end zone during SB 17 in what must be the greatest play in Redskins history

For my money, these guys are the soul of the Redskins. Despite their flaws, these are the kind of guys you tell stories about to your sons. These are the kind of guys that make you thankful that you are a Redskins fans and have them as your heroes. Hell, these are the kind of guys that make you think that it's possible that even if you didn't have a connection to Washington and didn't even like football that much, you still would have been a Redskins fan because of them.

Good call; glad you gave props to The Squire. As for the guys you picked, they are the kinds of guys you tell your DAUGHTERS about, too.

Joe Gibbs
Sonny Jurgensen
Darrell Green
John Riggins

These fit the caveat.

Sammy Baugh has to be on it if we open it up. It's hard enough to leave Art Monk off and then I have to take off one more...Riggo? tough call!

I understand the sentiment for JKC as well.
