The career of Mark Rypien is an interesting one, but as much as some people could say that he was lucky, he was also very good when needed to be.

If you are an all-time leader in any NFL stat, it stands to reason that you were pretty damned good.  This is who we are talking about next in Brian Mitchell, who is the all-time leader in Kick Return and Punt Return Yards, much of which was accomplished as a member of the Washington Redskins.

A First Round Pick from California, Ken Harvey played his first six seasons with the Phoenix Cardinals. While he was a serviceable NFL Linebacker, he was not a star.  This would change when he signed with the Washington Redskins as a Free Agent in 1994.

The Dallas Cowboys drafted Cincinnati’s Brig Owens in 1965, but he never made it past the Taxi Squad.  He was packaged in a five-player deal to the team that would become their fierce rivals, the Washington Redskins after that year, and it was in D.C. where the Safety played his entire pro career.
