From the University of Nevada, Charles Mann became a starter at Defensive End in his second season, where he was a punisher on the pass rush.  Playing for the Washington Redskins for his first 11 Seasons (1983-93) had 82 of his 83 career Sacks with Washington, including three four seasons in the double-digits. 

Mann went to four Pro Bowls with the Redskins (1987, 1988, 1989 & 1991), and helped them win two Super Bowls (XXII & XXVI). He was especially strong in the 1987 postseason, accruing 4.5 Sacks in the playoffs.  Mann was praised for his work ethic and leadership and was one of the most beloved players in Redskins defensive history in and out of the locker room. 

Following his release from Washington in 1993, Mann signed with the San Francisco 49ers where he played one final season and helped in a reserve role win his third Super Bowl.

There was a time when a case could be made that Wilber Marshall was the best Linebacker in football.  In 1985, he was a member of the most dominating team of the decade, the Super Bowl XX Champion, Chicago Bears.  The year after, he was a First Team All-Pro, led the league in Approximate Value (23), and was a Pro Bowler for the first time.  Marshall was overshadowed by some of his teammates (William Perry & Richard Dent), but those in the know saw Marshall as one of the most versatile outside linebackers in the NFL.

Offensive linemen are often the unsung heroes of football, but one group of linemen bucked that trend: the "Hogs" of the Washington Redskins. The "Hogs" were a legendary offensive line that played together in the 1980s and early 90s, and they were known for their toughness, physicality, and dominance on the field.

One of the linemen who stood out from the rest was Joe Jacoby. Jacoby was not a highly sought-after player when he entered the league; in fact, he went undrafted out of Louisville. But he didn't let that stop him. He worked hard and earned a spot on the Redskins' roster, eventually becoming one of the most beloved players on the team.

Jacoby was a force to be reckoned with on the field. He was a talented blocker who earned the respect of his peers and opponents alike. He wasn't the most naturally gifted tackle, but he made up for it with his work ethic and his punishing blocks. He was fearless and mean, and few players could beat him on running plays. His contributions were instrumental in helping the Redskins win three Super Bowls, each with a different quarterback who is not in the Hall of Fame.

Despite his impressive career, Jacoby has yet to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. His teammate Russ Grimm was recently honored with induction, but many believe that Jacoby should be there too. While it's unlikely that any other "Hogs" will be voted in, Jacoby's legacy as one of the greatest linemen of his era deserves recognition.
