Darrell Green has still got it

SS, you seem to have had access to many players in the past. This is off topic, but I'm curious - of great Redskin players you covered, who were the best that you dealt with off the field/off the record?

Regardless of Green's off-field demeanor, he will always be a favorite. I liken his freakish speed at an advanced age to Nolan Ryan still throwing no-hitters and 98 degree heat at 46. Both Green and Ryan were extreme freaks of nature.
