Green was a cornerback for the Washington Redskins from 1983 to 2002, playing exclusively with the Redskins. He is considered to be one of the greater cornerbacks ever to play the game, maintaining a high level of play well into the twilight of his career. Amongst his honors are:
Green was with the Redskins for their victories in Super Bowls XXII and XXVI, and started in their loss to the Los Angeles Raiders in Super Bowl XVIII. Green retired in 2002 at the age of 42, the oldest Redskin.
Mr. Green has received many awards and honors for both his superb athletic talents and philanthropy: 1996 NFL True Value Man of the Year, 1996 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, 1996 Redskins Alumni Player of the Year, 1996 Redskins Most Valuable Player, 1996 Ken Houston Humanitarian Award, 1997 USA TODAY Most Caring Athlete Award, and 1997 Sprint Good Sportsmanship Award.
A four-time winner of the NFL Fastest Man Competition, a leader in three Super Bowls and seven Pro Bowls. A sure bet for the NFL Hall of Fame, there is no doubt that Darrell Green performs exceptionally on the football field. However, it is his service to God and community outreach efforts of which he is most proud.
Through the Darrell Green Youth Life Foundation in Washington, D.C., Mr. Green reaches out to hurting and troubled young people with the love of Jesus Christ. The foundation's programs concentrate on elements like reverence for God, respect for fellow students and adults, and non-violent conflict resolution. From many accounts, the foundation is making a significant impact upon the lives of Washington, D.C.'s youth. That impact may expand around the country, as Mr. Green plans to establish several Darrell Green Learning Centers across the country.
