      That’s awesome. Think same here but now got me thinking. Had Lavernius Cole, Randel El, Cooley, Brunelle, Taylor, Orakpo, Norman, Swearinger, Collins. After taylor I had bad luck people getting trading or leaving in free agency, or swearinger talkin to the media and getting cut 😂 Edit: forgot arrington, fletcher, and Landry !!

    I just don’t see how a star RB in his 2nd season gets traded. Did he or champ Bailey demand a trade ? What’s the story behind this ?

    I’m 26 years old and I still have my Clinton Portis poster that I got in elementary school. He’s in my top 10 favorite Redskins

    Mid 2000s was when I started following the team more closely and it was just such a lovable cast of characters during the Gibbs 2.0 era, with Portis being the best of all of them.

    Champ Bailey was my favorite player as a kid. He took his place

    From his first run with the team (64 hard touchdown) I loved the guy.

    Not only a good runner, but one of the best blocking running backs during his time in the league.
