Darrell Green is a 1st ballot HOFer if I've ever seen one. He played at a very high level for most of his career and he has created several lasting memories. Maybe that's why the HOF can be viewed as a popularity contest, I mean Lynn Swann got in solely because of a couple of circus catches that just so happened to be in the Super Bowl. I can still see DG hurdling that Bear on a punt return and running into the end zone holding his rib.

Monk was fantastic for us, moved the chains, made the tough catch in traffic, did his thing every game, and was even the career leader in receptions and consecutive games with a catch when he retired and even was the first wideout to break 100 catches in a season. He is without a doubt among the best Redskins to ever wear the uniform, however when you think of Monk you think of a possession receiver. Yet in 4 more seasons he only caught 3 more tds than Irvin. I don't see Monk getting in unless the veterans bring him in.
