Joe Jacoby Named Hall Of Fame Finalist For A Second Time

Before the 1981 NFL season, the Washington Redskins made an acquisition that would change their offensive line forever. The team signed Joe Jacoby, a tackle out of Louisville, to a contract in hopes that he would improve their blocking. Jacoby did a lot more than that, as he helped the Redskins to win three Super Bowls.

Over the course of his storied career, Jacoby played 13 years in the NFL, all of which were spent with the Redskins. He played in 170 games make 148 starts. Most of his appearances came at the left tackle position, though he actually played every position on the offensive line with the exception of center.
