Former Redskins offensive lineman Ron Saul spent more than half of his 12-year NFL career as a member of the Washington Redskins, a team that underwent immense change while he was there as they began their ascent towards dominance in the 1980s.
During the Redskins’ first championship year, Ron Saul remembered there was a song called “Let’s go out in a blaze of glory,” which he felt accurately portrayed his final season playing football.
“I wasn’t the biggest, wasn’t the fastest, wasn’t the strongest, but I lasted a long time,” Saul said.
With six knee operations under his belt, Saul was placed on Injured Reserve for the majority of the Redskins’ Super Bowl run in 1982 and cheered on his teammates from the sidelines.
