Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that the Washington Commanders announced that Art Monk’s number 81 will be retired on November 2 during Washington’s home game against the Seattle Seahawks.
A First Round Pick in 1980 (18th Overall), Monk played fourteen seasons with Washington, where he earned three Pro Bowls and compiled 12,026 Receiving Yards and 65 Touchdowns. Monk also helped the team win three Super Bowls.
Monk becomes the sixth man to have his number retired by the franchise, joining Sammy Baugh, Bobby Mitchell, Darrell Green, Sonny Jurgensen, and Sean Taylor.
Monk was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2008.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Art Monk for his impending honor.
