Sad News: Breaking” Washington Redskins head coach Dan Quinn Announce The Death Of His Wife And Two Kids After Plane…

The Washington Commanders are one of the most historic franchises the game has to offer, as their history of pumping out championship teams and Hall of Fame players stretches almost 100 years into the past.

Some of the best ball-carriers ever have called the nation’s capital home.

Between Hall of Fame backs in football’s Jurassic years, iconic runners who helped shape multiple championship teams in the 1980s, and new runners who made impacts after the beginning of the new millennium, Washington’s history of hard-charging runners is rich and fertile.

These 10 players are already the best in franchise history, emerging as clear-cut standouts when compared to the rest of the backs in franchise history.

Will any of the new additions in Washington ever be able to equal the stellar performances of this group?

In his prime, Washington was 5-9 and maybe 170 pounds.

That didn’t stop him from becoming one of the most elusive backs in the league.

Having once led the league in receptions as a running back, Washington became a DC great after arriving snatching him away from the Colts.

A member of the 1982 champions, Washington recorded over 1,200 yards from scrimmage twice in three years despite sharing carries with John Riggins.

Despite his size, he and Riggins formed one of the great thunder and lightning backfield tandems ever under the masterful watch of Joe Gibbs.
