McDole (the dancing bear) came in the 70s and was part of the of the Over the Hill gang.

It is Joe Rutgens, No. 72. He was the 3rd pick overall and the 4th overall pick by the Raiders of the old AFL. Damn good DT on a bad Redskin defense

I have been thinking of starting a running thread about Washington football history for some time.

We have some historians and wise folks in general here.

I wanted to give it a try. Posters will post questions about team history or the current team and we will see who gets the answer right. Of course anyone can post a question. The poster of the question will let the board know who gets the answer right. This can be a running thread with no time constraints of course.

Scouts honor for everyone....no googling answers..lol

Skinsdad, please delete if this is a waste of time.

My question:

What college have the redskins/commanders drafted from the most in their team history?

I would have said Alabama simply because we have drafted 321 players from Alabama in the last 5 drafts.

 

[gkekoa]

Monk, Brown, Garrett. Who was the fourth member of the "Smurfs." No Google please.

BTW I would have guessed BAMA on the last one, but ND was my second choice.

Rickey Sanders?
