Darrell Green will be honored by the franchise this season.
The Washington Commanders have a rich history. They have won multiple Super Bowls and much of the success is attributed to the great players that have passed through the franchise over the years.
Throughout history, elite players have had their jersey numbers retired for the commitment to their team and the success that followed them in their respective careers, and legendary Hall of Fame defensive back, Darrell Green, will be seeing his No. 28 jersey retired by the Commanders in 2024 against the visiting Carolina Panthers on Oct. 20.There is almost no single player in franchise history more deserving of his number getting retired other than Darrell Green.
During his career, Green established himself as an elite player on the boundary starting 258 career games, amassing 1,202 total tackles, five forced fumbles, 10 fumble recoveries, 54 interceptions, and a total of eight touchdowns. The stats say enough, but Green also has a laundry list of accolades from his time with Washington, having won two Super Bowls, 7x Pro Bowler, First-Team All-Pro, two-time Second-Team All-Pro, Walter Payton Man of the Year Award winner, and Hall of Fame inductee.
