Breaking News: Redskins all time best player has been interview for…

When examining the Washington Redskins’ illustrious past, one must first consider the extensive list of historically

great running backs. From Cliff Battles to Larry Brown and John Riggins, Redskins running backs have always set

the tone.

As a result, compiling a list of the greatest Redskins running backs of all time has proven difficult. Most of the time,

developing such a list would be based on personal preference along with a lengthy data crunching session. In this

scenario, each player’s career statistics and any accessible highlights will be given, and you will vote to determine

who the greatest Redskins running back of all time was.

Cliff Battles was the first great running back in Redskin history. Battles played from 1932 to 1937 and was widely

regarded as the best tailback in the game when he left the NFL in 1937 due to a contract dispute with George Preston

Marshall. Although his results may not be comparable to those of other players his age, Battles also played in an era

of fewer games and more clock control football.

Larry Brown was one of the toughest players to ever wear the burgundy and gold. Brown went through numerous

injuries but still managed to start every game at running back and put on a show. Brown started 71 games with the

Redskins and carried 1,530 times for 5,875 yards and 35 touchdowns. Brown has 5,875 yards, which ranks him third

in Redskins history.
