To honor a man who gave so much to our franchise and the DMV community, we are excited to announce that we will be retiring Darrell Green's #28 jersey this upcoming season.

Green's illustrious career spanned multiple eras, earning him the enduring nickname, "The Ageless Wonder," for his longevity and consistently high level of play.
Green was a key player in two Super Bowl victories for Washington and was selected to the Pro Bowl an impressive seven times. Green was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2008, solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest cornerbacks in NFL history. Off the field, he continues to inspire through his charitable work and unwavering commitment to the community, embodying the values that define the Commanders franchise.
