From 1983 until 2002, Darrell Green was a mainstay for the Washington Commanders. The 5’9″, 184-pound cornerback was one of the fastest men to ever play in the NFL, but he was more than just a speedy presence. The NFL Hall of Famer totaled 54 interceptions and played until he was 42 years old.
His blend of athleticism, technique, and activity in the run game made him a priority to be game-planned against. He was an All-Decade Team member for good reason. Former NFL great and current Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders marveled at his speed, saying he made everyone else look slow.
