There are a few number that won't be issued based on what a player meant to the team and fanbase. Sammy Baugh's number 33 is the only officially retired number while these are unofficially in that same category...
1. Huff #70...Huff was one of the most impactful players to ever put on this team's uniform.
2. Bobby Mitchell #49 ( the original BMitch)...played during the era of integration in the NFL, which made his dynamic contributions even more impressive and historically important.
3. Jurgensen #9...There’s not a whole lot of NFL legends in Washington’s history, but Jurgensen is one of them. While he wasn’t a physical specimen or anything, but boy, could he sling it.
4. M. Coleman #51...is just one of three men who played 16+ seasons with the team (Sammy Baugh and Darrell Green being the other two) and was a pillar of its defense for years.
5. Monk #81... was a legendary receiver for the Redskins and there haven’t been many players who were more well-received and celebrated by the burgundy and gold Nation.
6. Charley Taylor#42... is one of the most versatile guys to ever lace ‘em up in RFK Stadium. Similar to Bobby Mitchell, Taylor played both running back and receiver and excelled at both.
7. D.Green#28... was the consummate professional on and off the field, and was the definition of consistency during his time in the league. His legacy is cemented in team history forever.
8. Riggins #44... name is held near and dear to the hearts of D.C. fans everywhere, and he has a résumé worthy of being given this honor.
Hopefully, S. Taylor #21 will join them, not merely because of his contributions on the field but additionally because of what he meant to, and the impact that he had on the team and fanbase, in life and in death. After all, there’s not a higher honor a team can give a player!
