The Washington Redskins enjoy one of the NFL’s richest histories and each year the team takes out one weekend to honor some of the franchise’s greats.
Prior to Sunday’s annual Alumni Homecoming Game at FedExField in Landover, Md., the team on Saturday night held a special reception to honor the team’s Hall of Famers and former general manager Bobby Beathard, who will officially become the Redskins’ 48th member of its Ring of Fame this week.
Beathard will be formally honored with induction at halftime.
Early on in the evening the Pro Football Hall of Fame presented new rings to Darrell Green, Chris Hanburger, Ken Houston, Sam Huff, Sonny Jurgensen, Bobby Mitchell, Art Monk, John Riggins and Charley Taylor, all of whom were inducted in Canton, Ohio, after their illustrious playing careers were completed.
