Playing 20 years at cornerback is so insane. And he played in 3 decades 🤯

Just remember Darrell Green holds the longest streak of an interceptions at 19 STRAIGHT SEASONS. No one is going to touch that.

"Tootsie Rolls make you run fast" - Darrell Green

Announcer: And he's gone! Darrell Green: Nuh-uh!

As good a player he is, he’s an even better person.

Darrell Green was the definition of an elite athlete. That punt return for a touchdown while holding his ribs was legendary. Dude ran a 4.4 at 50 years old. That’s crazy.

Fastest player of his era. Including Deion

Thank you for this. Most fans Outside of the DMV don’t know how great Darrell Green really was. Pure athlete & a lockdown corner.

We need an NFL Legends Throwback for Marshall Faulk

19 years in the league is wild.

Master of the Chasedown tackle

A lot of people don't realize that he was just a great player, period. A leader on the field, and 100 percent hustle all the time. AND also pointed out below, he had extraordinary longevity.

He played 20 seasons with the Washington Redskins and that’s insane as heck. Darrell Green is the man. He was the fastest man for a reason. He went to Texas A&M-Kingsville.🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

Not only is top speed what made him so dangerous, it's his longevity at having speed. Being able to have an INT in 19 consecutive seasons, with two of them being at the age of 40 and 41 is wild. Very few people last even half as long as Green does and most lose their speed, yet he always was able to keep up with everyone. It's what made him so good for so long.

Eighteen straight years with an interception is insane

Mr Redskin Darrell Green. His closing speed on passes was insane. He'd pick off the QB before the receiver knew what happened. Legend.

Not only freakishly fast, but maintained his speed to a freakishly old age

Darrell Green deserves more credit for being one of the greatest defensive players ,CB and DBs of all time.

This almost makes me wanna cry. We used to be such a great organization

Beware the unstoppable speedster! Darrell Green defines the meaning of having a need for speed!

I remember watching that game when Eric Dickerson was running for a touchdown and I thought he was gone but here comes Darrell Green catching up to him. Truly an unbelievable athlete.

Announcer: “Nobody’s gonna catch him.” Darrell Green: “And I took that personally.”

Deion was more flamboyant so he got a lot more attention. But Darrell was right there with him year after year for best CB in the league through the 90s.

Damn this video was amazing! I teared up at the end. As a kid who grew up a Redskins fan and watched Darrell for years, this was such a well done tribute to his career. The man was something special.

Man I miss those days. I loved watching him play.

Coming from a Cowboy fan, its amazing that he played that long at such a high level. Much respect

He was in Madden 2002, the first Madden on the xbox. He was still really fast even then.

My all-time favorite player behind Sean Taylor! I've got a ton of Darrell Green memorabilia in my man cave. Love me some DG!! Man I miss my Redskins! HTTR forever!!!

If you gave him right now to go train, Darrell Green could probably play as a dime corner or on special teams. He hasn't played in 22 years, but he can probably still play if he trained his body again.

Darrell Green, Man. a lockdown corner before that term existed. Glad i got to watch him play when i could.

I saw his hall of fame speech live. Outstanding career and one of the best corners ever.

I got to see him live in his last season in ‘02 I was 6 years old! But Seeing these Vintage highlights I understand Completely now why he is loved in our city the way he is. #28 ❤️💛 BEAST

I remember nearly all of those plays. Great great player and even a nicer guy.

I've have the absolute luxury of watching Darrell Green throughout his entire career. And I am so amazed and so captivated by his play, I just want to thank him for playing for my hometown team, and for the great brilliance of Joe Gibbs and Bobby Beathard, whom saw the potential of a kid of Texas A&I, who later on, who be a first ballot HOFer. Thank you Darrell!!!!

The greatest Washington player in my opinion.

Skipped his OT pick against the Titans (Oilers at the time) in the 91 season that kept the undefeated record alive. He basically made the game winning play in the closest game of the streak that year.

LEGEND.

I mean what else can be said aside from LEGEND? Hail to the Redskins ❤

I know the Riggins TD to win Superbowl 17 is the most iconic play in franchise history, but for me Green’s punt return against the Bears is my all-time favorite. Legendary.

Faster than my other favorite shutdown corner "Primetime". Reason i fell in love with the Washington Redskins. #HAILYEAH

He was incredible Athlete and kept Washington in every game

That last tackle of Rice was PlayStation sick -- that guy had TWO MORE gears than anybody else.

Seeing him run down Dickerson is crazy though because Dickerson was fast

DG = the GOAT. I was honored and privledged to watch him play being a long time commanders fan. Thank you Darrell for being a great person and football player. Too many great plays to list. Im convinced he is and was the best tackling cornerback of all time, The Eric Dickerson tackle i think is even more impressive than the Dorsett tackle. He made those tackles and interceptions all the time. Wish they would have put him back for more punt returns, but he got injured on a punt return so I can see why Coach Gibbs made the right call,

One of the best in his position fast and would hit somebody and not be afraid. Unlike Dion Sanders, he wouldn't laid wood on anybody, Darrell Green would! Darrell Green played the game of football with class, and it was always a privilege to watch him play. I've been a washington redskins fan since I was a little boy in the late sixties and I've seen a lot of great ones on that team and he was one of them.

What an absolute stud

Greatest CB ever, definitely NFL's fastest man, I think he is regarded as such not just because of his blazing speed but how long he was fast.

Best damn Cornerback of All Time Period. HTTR!!!!!

Everybody said "He is the fastest man" in his era. Nobody are before him and since him.

Fast as nobody, but his way to pick anything, this is an icredible man

Darrell wasn't just fast. He had great field presents. He took great angles and made great tackles. And great hands.

One thing I just noticed about green is for a small guy he was and I'm sure still is is he is an underrated and great tackler.

Redskins finally got a competent front office and we’re getting highlight tapes on NFL Throwback again. We are so back!

Darrell Green #1 always!!!!!!!

1:05 catching Tony Dorsett is all you need to show, because Tony was fast.

Best D Green highlight video I’ve seen. Excellent stuff thank you

Darrell Green was one of the greatest if not the absolute best shut down fastest impactful CB in NFL History like for real for real

His ‘91 upper deck card where he was labeled the fastest man was amazing!

9:02 38 years old and the way he closed that ground on Rice. He was a freak.

My absolute fav Redskin!!!!

More than just the fastest man in the NFL for however many years, the guy was a great football player.

Incredible player.

Not only was he super fast,he had great eye hand coordination to be able to catch all those deflected interception

The fastest man in the nfl

The fastest player on the field at any time. I really did love watching him. Blessed to have watched him and Ed Reed play. Two of the best.

Not only was Darrell Green fast, you'll note that many of these highlights really had nothing to do with speed, he was just a great football player.

Never ever ever heard someone say mother time lol

That is flat out greatness. This was quite enjoyable! Man hes fast, good stuff. Eric Dickerson: " I knew he was coming....he was back there somewhere!" 😆

The fact this dude was in the league for 20 years is insane

Speaking of longevity DB’s can we PELASE get a Rod Woodson video. I think he’s one of the most underrated players ever

Absolutely loved watching this man play !

Darrell Green is like a real life version of what happens when you try to do pass plays against the CPU on All-Madden difficulty in Madden 24

always one of my favorite players and a good Christian man, too!!!

Simply the best

I’ve seen every Darrell Green video on UKposts. This one was the best. Took me back to some moments that I had never seen before becoming a fan in 1989. Darrell Green was the most amazing NFL player I’d ever seen. Definitely, the fastest. His closing speed was uncanny, which allowed him to catch so many fast runners from behind. They didn’t show it, but he caught Barry Sanders AND Napoleon Kaufman from behind. Of the many HOFers the Redskins have, Darrell Green is arguably the best. Played an unbelievably long time at 20 years at a high level. Needless to say, the first jersey I ever owned.

One thing that strikes me watching this clip is how good his tackling technique is on some of the chase downs. You don’t really see those ‘wrap the feet’ rugby tackles any more in the NFL, but he hit so many of them perfectly. He was just an amazing player. Like Frank Gifford said in his first season “he’s got speed to give away to his friends…”

What a great player Darrell Green was. Totally underrated

We need one of Erik Dickerson

Met him in Canton at a breakfast joint, he ordered so much food he offered me a pancake, so I can tell myself I had breakfast with a hall of famer. Also asked him if he was still on tootsie rolls, he said no, oh well.

Darrell green career as db has always been crazy to me not only for him having a interception in a season for almost 2 decades but his ability to keep his athleticism for all those years most dbs are washed like rbs by their late 20s but even being old as hell Darrell green was still able to run guys down

Seeing the O-Linemen trying to chase down Green on an INT is definitely........ something.....A for effort I guess 😂

I remember him on that Commanders that beat the Bills in the Superbowl.

What made him so special was that he was consistent his whole career, always one of the fastest but also one of the best football players to ever play. He had speed but also intelligence to read quarterbacks and also perfect pursuit angles. The 80's and 90's had some great legendary football players. Those decades had the best NFL commentators as well. Now they are very generic just like ESPN.

Not a fan of the Commanders bit D.Green was an awesome football player.Always played with a smile on his face and was always a classy athlete.

DG not being in the hof is criminal, what a legend

The interception of Mcnabb in 2001 was amazing considering his age.

My fav playa

I was not a fan of either team…but I would love to watch one more Thanksgiving game of Dallas vs the Redskins. It was like tradition. Detroit vs the Bear in the early game and Dallas / Wash in the late one. Those were the days

5'9 and he blanked a lot of 6 foot Receivers

Legend!

19 years straight with a int is nasty work‼️🔥

Awesome stuff

We need Rod Woodson highlights

He does not get enough credit for playing CB until age 42. Played all 16 games in each of his last two years. (Didn't start them all, but still.)

The greatest! Go Javelinas!

To be able to run down Tony Dorsett and Eric Dickerson made him legendary before his career was over.

Redskins need to be brought back.

Didn't know if I had 2 hours to watch this vid, considering that Green played from the late Pleistocene to the early 22nd century. Glad that the highlights were slightly truncated.

Its actually crazy how they said in 1991 being in the NFL for 10 yrs time will catch up with him and they test him, yet he played another whole 10 years when other star corners get washed
