The Washington Football Team hasn’t always been home to league standouts, but Terry Allen challenged the norm during the 1996 NFL season.

Yes, Washington Football Team fans, we are at a frustratingly slow part of the offseason. The time between the final minicamp and the start of training camp always seems to take forever.

While that time does take forever, it is also a prime opportunity to recognize those players in Washington history who made us true fans of the team we love to watch and cover.
