After two seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, the team traded Dave Butz was traded to the Washington Redskins in 1975, which would be the team where he spent 14 seasons.

Pat Fischer may have been a great player at Nebraska, but standing at 5’ 9” made NFL scouts feel that he was too small to play in the NFL.  He fell to the 17^thRound in the 1961 Draft, where the St. Louis Cardinals took the Cornerback.

In the 2003 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins coveted an elite Offensive Lineman, which was precisely what they obtained in their Third Overall Pick, with Chris Samuels of Alabama.

A late round draft pick by the Washington Redskins from Loyola Marymount in 1951, Gene Brito would play on both sides of the ball in his first two seasons.   The End was certainly solid in his role, but by 1953, Brito was focused on the Left Defensive End position and was chosen for his first Pro Bowl.
