YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? CAUSE I DIDN’T WANT TO SEE HIM UP THERE. AND SO YOU’D HEAR (GROWLING NOISE) HE’S COMPLETELY SHOT AND I’D SAY MAKE SURE SOMEBODY DRIVES HOME. WE CAME BACK FROM SEATTLE, THIS IS FOREVER, SO I GET TO THE OFFICE AND WE GO INSIDE TO PUT OUR STUFF UP AND EVERYTHING, AND THEY WALKED IN THERE TO ME AND THEY SAID YOU’RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS. AND I SAID WHAT? AND THEY SAID D‐BOY, WHO’S HALF CRAZY, IS DOWNSTAIRS AND HE AND RIGGINS ARE LIFTING WEIGHTS AND ALL THEY GOT ON IS RIGGINS’ COWBOYS BOOTS AND HE HAS TENNIS SHOES.

  • Seminoles in the Nfl Draft
    137 PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME All-time Florida State gridiron greats Walter Jones and Derrick Brooks are used to making history. The longtime NFL stars added an achievement that will without a doubt move to the top of their accolade-filled biographies when they were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame inAugust, 2014. Jones and Brooks became the first pair of first-ballot Hall of Famers from the same class who attended the same college in over 40 years. The pair’s journey together started 20 years ago. Just as Brooks was wrapping up his All-America career at Florida State in 1994, Jones was joining the Seminoles out of Holmes Community College (Miss.) for the 1995 season. DERRICK BROOKS Linebacker 1991-94 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame WALTER JONES Offensive Tackle 1995-96 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame 138 PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME They never played on the same team at Florida State, but Jones distinctly remembers how excited he was to follow in the footsteps of the star linebacker whom he called the face of the Seminoles’ program. Jones and Brooks were the best at what they did for over a decade in the NFL. Brooks went to 11 Pro Bowls and never missed a game in 14 seasons (all with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), while Jones became the NFL’s premier left tackle, going to nine Pro Bowls over 12 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. Both retired in 2008, and, six years later, Jones and Brooks were teammates for the first time as first-ballot Hall of Famers.

    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn WASHInGTOn REDSKInS Team History With three Super Bowl championships, the Washington Redskins are one of the NFL’s most dominant teams of the past quarter century. But the organization’s glorious past dates back almost 60 years and includes five world championships overall and some of the most innovative people and ideas the game has ever known. From George Preston Marshall to Jack Kent Cooke, from Vince Lombardi to Joe Gibbs, from Sammy Baugh to John Riggins, plus the NFL’s first fight song, marching band and radio network, the Redskins can be proud of an impressive professional football legacy. George Preston Marshall was awarded the inactive Boston franchise in July 1932. He originally named the team “Braves” because it used Braves Field, home of the National League baseball team. When the team moved to Fenway Park in July 1933, the name was changed to Redskins. A bizarre situation occurred in 1936, when the Redskins won the NFL Eastern division championship but Marshall, unhappy with the fan support in Boston,moved the championship game against Green Bay to the Polo Grounds in New York. Their home field advantage taken away by their owner, the Redskins lost. Not surprisingly, the Redskins moved to Washington, D.C., for the 1937 season. Games were played in Griffith Stadium with the opener on September 16, 1937, being played under flood lights. That year,Marshall created an official marching band and fight song, both firsts in the National Football League. That season also saw the debut of “Slinging Sammy” Baugh, a quarterback from Texas Christian who literally changed the offensive posture of pro football with his forward passing in his 16-season career.

  • Juwann Winfree's Personal Evolution Leads to Broncos Opportunity. by Kyle Fredrickson Denver Post June 17, 2019
    “He was going to rise.” Juwann Winfree's personal evolution leads to Broncos opportunity. By Kyle Fredrickson Denver Post June 17, 2019 Former CU wide receiver took long road to become Denver sixth-round NFL draft pick. Think Juwann Winfree can fly on the football field? You should have seen him on a skateboard. Picture this: A middle school adrenaline junkie rolling down blacktop near the Hudson River in eastern New Jersey. Find a trick, practice like crazy and land it. He’d glide through the air on six-, seven- and eight- stair drops. Fearless. “It was a hobby that I grew to really love,” Winfree said. “I can still kick-flip.” These days, Winfree walks through the Broncos’ training facility with a similar skate swagger. He still craves the thrill but finds it elsewhere. The rookie receiver, a sixth-round pick out of CU, evades defensive backs with kick-flip footwork and sails through the sky to grab deep passes from quarterback Joe Flacco. The rush of a lifetime. Winfree has always sought speed, and sometimes, to a fault. It nearly derailed this dream. “The way this whole process happened to me was so crazy,” Winfree said. “God was truly on my side.” Winfree dropped skateboarding in seventh grade after a football coach’s ultimatum but rediscovered adrenaline in all the wrong places. He chose Maryland among 26 Division-I scholarship offers out of Dwight Morrow High School, and about 16 months after signing day, the program suspended Winfree indefinitely as a result of failed drug tests and check fraud.
