Redskins Legends Bracket: 2. Charley Taylor vs. 7. Ricky Sanders
If you think the rules today give too much leeway to receivers, then you’re in luck. Our latest matchup on the Redskins Legends Bracket features two receivers who played prior to the game’s 21st century evolution.
Receivers with a chip on their shoulder are valued commodities in today’s NFL. But in the old era of football, it was a necessity. Following every snap, dogfights ensued on the edges. When the ball was in the air, anything was fair game.
Now, the game has changed. As the rules continue to play a larger and larger factor, more and more fans are enticed to look back to the days of old, when receivers were expected to be tough, not praised for it.
