An All-American at Georgia, Champ Bailey was the first defensive player (Seventh Overall) in the 1999 Draft, when he was taken by the Washington Redskins.

Jeff Bostic was an All-ACC Center at Clemson, but his work in college did not parlay into a draft selection.  The Washington Redskins signed him as an Undrafted Free Agent (1980), and it would become one of the best signings in franchise history.

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.
