Darrell Green, one of the NFL’s greatest cornerbacks, continues to defy age with his impressive athleticism. Playing in the NFL for 20 years is a remarkable achievement, especially at the cornerback position, where the demands are relentless. Green, who played all 20 seasons with Washington, boasts an illustrious career that includes two Super Bowl victories, four first-team All-Pro selections, seven Pro Bowl appearances, and a spot on the 1990s All-Decade Team. His contributions to the sport were recognized with his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2008, his first year of eligibility.
Throughout his career, Green was renowned for his speed, winning the “NFL’s Fastest Man” award four times. Even after retiring in 2002, he continued to showcase his legendary speed by running the 40-yard dash, proving he still had the agility that defined his career.
Recently, Green has reconnected with the Washington organization under new owner Josh Harris. The team plans to retire his jersey in the upcoming season, a testament to his enduring legacy.
