Dudes got like 100 granddaughters and 1 grandson.😂😂. Great moment.
Lucky Gpa. Sons leave to be on their own. Girls hold the extended family together
And I bet you that boy is the fastest kid in day care!!
Not a Washington fan at all, but this man is a legend … 🙏🏾
@@phonechecked Daughters embarrass the family by being single mothers and don't pass down the last name
@@ayycardinal6802How do you know they are single mothers? Also, which family name are you talking about? Do you know how family names are passed on in most American families? A single mother might pass on the family name (Green) because the kids might get her maiden name. Therefore, the family name would be passed on. If his daughters got married, then they would most likely accept their husband’s name and give their children the husband’s name (not Green).
Reading the title I was surprised Green's 28 hadn't already been retired. He was one of those rare players that was universally respected by ALL NFL fans.
Definitely, it's a well deserved honor.
Top 10 corner all time
ABSOLUTELY should have been retired YEARS AGO
Glad they waited until the Dan Ledt the building
From a die hard lifelong Cowboys fan, Congratulations Mr. Green, you deserve it.
"What the What?!" is now my favorite way to respond to exciting news.
I laughed so hard because that's what I say when I'm trying not to cuss!
such a dad response
That's what's used in my home to keep from cussing. 😂
@@poppyshoesspsame😂😂😂😂
Check out the TV show 30 Rock.
That jersey number has BEEN retired in my book.
I thought it was and am shocked to find out it wasn't.
Bet. The day he walked off the field for the last time.
Long Time Coming.. ⌛️ Congratulations to one of if not the best player ever to but that uniform on of any team. Better off the field Man than on the field and that's saying alot.
@nealm6764 we have had many numbers that are "unofficially retired". They just took them out of the rotation bit never actually retired them. Im glad new ownership is getting it done. There are a few more we gotta do before all these guys are gone.
Exactly!
As a 53 yrs old Cowboy fan,I was surprised this was on my feed. Glad it was. Grats Mr. Green. Respect!
Me as a 46 year old Niners fan, I feel the same. This made my football day! 🎉
Eagles fan here. Respect to 28
Eagles fan, character transcends rivalry. There’s players all over the NFC East that I respect and admire. Jason Witten, Sean Taylor, Darrell Green, Brian Dawkins. We’re blessed with rivalries full of great men. See you guys next year!
Facts my dude. Too many afraid to have that heart.
Born and raised in Dallas. Cowboy fan for life. THIS is AWESOME!!! Darrell Green is one of the best to ever do it. Nice!
I just said the same thing...He is a living legend and one of the best ever
Same. I still dont care for Washington, but honestly this is how you honor a legend.
My coworker is a lifelong Cowboys fan, and he had high praise for Green.
He finished by saying he hates Washington. 🤣
Ditto from Dallas TX, the man is class and congratulations 🇺🇲
Same here. Much respect to Mr. Green.
They got me crying here. This is the classiest thing this organisation has done in DECADES!! I love this🤎
Well deserved! 💪🏽
Since at least 1999 (year of Snyder's purchase), it's safe to say! So glad those dark days are behind us.
Nah Foreal❤️🖤🤷🏿♂️💯
Dito😢😢👍
For real! LOOOOONG time overdue.
Finally, ownership with dignity, class, and a coaching staff to match. For them to do this for Darrell speaks to their foundational beliefs. I met Mr. Green and Mr. Monk when I was twelve, and I still have his signature tucked away in a box. He is truly a humble man. HTTR!!
I’m not a Commanders fan, but will always be a Darrell Green fan! Congrats #28!
Maybe magic and people like that but Josh Harris is trash
exactly todd
I lost my mother on January 1, 1982. This team raised me, and 28 was my favorite uncle
He and Art Monk. 😍 .... and sorry you lost your Mom in 1982.
I'm sorry you lost your mother. I'm happy that you had something positive to look towards when life was rough
You raised right. Mom would be proud
I couldn't think of a better man to look up too... 😎
No doubt. My man would pull out tootsie rolls out his socks
used to hoop with DG at the Vienna park..... multiple times...he was there a lot and not anyone who ever thought he was anything more than a player trying to ball.. many of them aren't.. but let me tell you.... he' 100% real and genuine when my friend sprained his knee Darrell.. stopped and helped Bob off the court and made sure he was ok before continuing ..he was always the adult in the room, he was the king in that park.. you could almost see the white light around him..i kid you not.. you felt a lift being near him..... great honor for a great man.
I've been a Cowboys fan since nineteen hundred and seventy.I have the utmost respect for Mr.Green he is and will always be a class act.Congratulations sir.
Thanks. As a Redskins fan since about 1985 (and a Cowboy hater before even then :) ) there are a lot of Cowboys that I can say the same thing about. Respect.
@@Moose6340 🤠✌
Darrell is an absolute HUMBLE LEGEND!!! I met him in 91, when my Uncle Dan (R.I.P.) got us playoff tickets for that year, ON THE ROCKING BLEACHERS!!!! It was such an absolute blast. Four years ago I was walking on my way back from lunch in D.C. wearing a Redskins Coat that had the superbowls and some of the great players numbers on it, including his. I hear a voice call out "Man, thats a nice jacket!" I turn around and it's Darrell Green getting out of a limo!! I smiled from ear to ear and just said "Man....any chance we can get you back on the field?!? Or defense could sure use your help!" He just smiled and said..."Man...I'm still quick, but not THAT quick!!" He was out there to pick up his son from work, we chatted for like 10 minutes before he came down, I told him I had worked for 10 years at FedEx Field as an usher, he loved hearing my quick stories about the fans in the nosebleed sections...such a cool individual. So happy for him to get this honor!!
Right on👊🏾
Sounds beautiful!! 💜🛐💪🏽
Lucky you! I’m in rural Montana. We never see anybody here, lol. These kinds of stories tickle us to no end.
Love this! Thanks for sharing.
@@ndnballin Man..been to Montana, it is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I love my Blue Ridge mountains...but the mountains out there were amazing!!
I didn't expect to start tearing up on a Thursday morning, this was a real suprise lol. For him to say he finally feels back and part of the franchise again just shows how neglected our Alumni were from the old regime.
You shoulda waited until Friday night. It would have given you the weekend to recover.
Die Hard Cowboys fan here... and this man caused me to cuss at my TV toooo many times. lol
congratulations sir. well deserved.
Man look at that family, Darrel Green has done great
#28 will be officially retired this year. About time. So glad. Darrell Green has always been my favorite Redskin. Followed closely by Art Monk. Seeing them go in to the HOF together was one of the best nights of my life.
Congratulations to Darrell! Cowboys fan here, from Roger, Tony, Drew, Emmitt, Troy, and Michael, I watched Darrell Green play so brilliantly against my Cowboys! Awesome Mr. Green! You earned this!
Coming from an 80s baby Dallas Cowboys fan, Congrats to you. You was one of the greatest to ever do it. As a kid i loved when you and Irvin played against each other. Respect to you Mr.Green
Well deserved!!! “Commanders” looking like we back on track…Salute #28
Lol. “Commanders”
@@kingcurmudgeon8685 You hip, It kills my soul to say it but it’s my squad win, lose or draw. 😅
Shout out to Josh Harris and crew. What I time to be a Washington fan
I’m a Cowboys fan and this has me tearing up. Team dude. Super star. Ultimate professional. Thank you.
Congratulations Darrell Green. I grew up watching football as a kid in the 80s/90s and this guy was pure class. Congrats and respect from a Raiders fan from L.A.
My ALL-TIME favorite player!!
So great to watch this! Thanks, Darrell!!
Retire #81 now... Darrell Green was the best CB I've ever seen play
Art Monk..
I was going to leave that comment if it wasn't here already.
ART MONK was professionalism personified.
Always stayed in shape in the off season and showed up to training camp ready for the season to start. In his era, there was ONLY ONE receiver with more impressive statistics - Jerry Rice.
When Monk was inducted into the Hall of Fame (the same day as D. Green), he received the longest standing ovation in the history of that institution by FELLOW PLAYERS.
If they all recognize his greatness...it's time for the Washington Commanders to do the same.
@MrVvulf 100 percent bro. Monk was subject to a run first offense in a run heavy league for the fist 10 years of his career too. And was the only WR in NFL history to win 3 superbowls with 3 different QBs.
From a Giants fan, this is long overdue. He’s always been a class act on and off the field. Well deserved and congratulations Darrell Green!
My favorite Washington player and had the honor of meeting him when his wife and mines graduated college together. That 5 minute conversation with him. One of the greatest moments of my life. Congratulations#28.
Hittin me right in the feels man. Beautiful.
This is beautiful 🥰🥰😭😭😭😭. CONGRATULATIONS 28! Long overdue!!!!
Catching Tony Dorsett from behind in 1983 game against Dallas one of the greatest moments of his great career!!!!
I always remembered that, and the punt return against the Bears where he hurdled the guy and ran into the end zone holding his ribs! OUTSTANDING PLAY!
I have lived in Philly all my life. And when #28 was back there I hated playing that team twice a year. But he deserves all the accolades for his work and commitment to the league. He made it a prerequisite for a DB to be not just fast, but very fast. Congrats #28!
Man is so special as a commanders fan we never had this and the ownership is blessing us,you deserve DG and congratulations.
Man this made me tear up! An absolute LEGEND, there’s no doubt Darrell Green deserves this honor. For 20 years he embodied what it was to be a Washington Redskin, and he still lives up to his amazing reputation to this day! Always #28!
As a Dallas Cowboy Fan, I loved the competitiveness Green brought to the rivalry, and showcased that SPEED! I am a fan...Congrats, Well Deserved!
I’m not a Washington fan but this was an awesome way to honor the true legend that Darrell Green is. Well deserved and way overdue.
As a lifelong Eagles fan I got to watch this great man play twice a year back in the day. A true icon ! Well deserved!!
From watching Darrell on the football field to knowing him as a person, father and family man. It’s an honor to call him a friend. 28 is Forever a Legend
Jets fan here, but lived in DC for a few years after the Army. Went to quite a few games, including the Jets game at RFK in 1996. You guys couldn't have been nicer to this Jets fan during a really tough year. So happy your organization finally has people in charge that care about your history. Shocked DG hadn't already received this honor. Well done.
Tears flowing for his honor! Enjoyed watching him for 20 years! In the Commanders uniform! Huge fan all my life!
For his honor? Lol. That's embarrassing.
What’s embarrassing ,you taking the time to reply! Moron
I'm shocked his number wasn't already retired. He gave the Eagles fits all those years, what a humble man...congrats!
We're so PTDS'd out as a fanbase that a Jersey Retirement rings as a cover up for some kind of scandal, thank goodness those days are behind us man.
I cried watching this. He means so much to so many, and it’s just unbelievable to finally have competent ownership that can do this stuff the right way.
Hahahaha crybaby
New York Giants fan here and started clapping when he got the "and now 1 more, 28" Darrell Green was a bad bad man on that field.
Lifetime Eagles fan. Wonderful job on this video, Washington! You deserve it, Darrell!
"What the What?!?!?!"
Got to love DG28!
Great player and an even better human being.
Congratulations Darryl Green I watched you since you entered NFL and you were one of my heroes of the game you came through on clutch plays that made me cry that made my heart just shake just like rfk did thx
Respect and congratulations sir. Well deserved and hard earned. From a Lifelong Cowboy fan. Congratulations Mr. Green!
As a Birds fan, if there was one player that I would choose for this honor it would be this dude! He may have played for a rival, but the respect was there! Congrats 28!
Love DG I still have his jersey since he played in the league. #28 4 LIFE
BEST CORNER TO EVER PLAY THE GAME.
No arguments at all.
Stop gushing. He was great. Don't make him out to be the best though.
Please ur glazing so hard never disrespect prime time like that
@@thisme3138 Perhaps Deion was a better cover man, but Darrell hit people.
@@tygrkhat4087 coverage is infinitely more valuable for a corner than hitting people. that's like trying to say Lamar Jackson is better than Mahomes because he's a better runner. Deion is objectively the goat CB and i'm not even a big fan of him
I will always remember how much John Madden used to gush about Darrell Green. I'm a diehard Cowboys fan and he always commanded respect. Definition of playing the game the right way. Awesome video.
Bro deserves it. I'm a Giants fan but as a kid I was a Skins fan and I loved watching DG play! My dude along with Sean Taylor. RIP Bro.
DG28 - pure class, talent, humility, love and joy!!!! Wonderful! ❤❤❤
This is great! Congratulations, Darrell Green. What a wonderful surprise. It's definitely well deserved and shout out to the whole Josh Harris and the Commanders management group.Top tier class ❤💯👏🏾💪🏾
I never watched him make one play (bit before my time) and I STILL teared up watching this. The family, the honor, the struggling to compose himself at the unveiling, MAGIC (I was bizarrely a die-hard Showtime Lakers fan despite not being alive while they were playing, no it doesn't make any sense). That was a very great video and I'm happy to see this organization embrace their past players. I was worried they were gonna go no we can't acknowledge the past b/c of the name change and it's like you still have to HONOR GREATNESS!!!
I'm a die-hard Eagles fun but this was a very moving video. Congrats Mr. Green, you earned it and deserve it 1000%!
This is soooo awesome. Thx for all you have done in the past for our francise. This honor is and will be the minimum we could serve to you. #28 forever. 🏈🏈😭😭
I couldn’t love this more. Well done to my Washington Football Club very classy move well overdue for a man of his stature. #HTTR
One of the greats! This was beautiful to watch!
This is what new ownership can do appreciate the people that build the team and establishment!
Dang man yall got me tearing up at work stop it
Long overdue! #HTTR #28 ❤
Lester is smiling with tears up in heaven, elated that this is happening for his brother, Houston is proud, Thank You for your hard work and dedication
I'm not crying.....
Long overdue. An absolute icon.
From a Lions fan....
Awesome! Just awesome! I am not a Washington fan but when I watched him in the 1980s play against my Giants, I knew that I was watching a GREAT player. Much respect to 28!
Well deserved! That punt return against the Bears in the '87 playoffs is my favorite play of all time.
Chasings down tony dorsett was my favorite.😅😮😊
He also ran Eric Dickerson down from behind! But I’m with you that Chicago punt return has to be one of the best plays ever!
And maybe the '84 game in Dallas when he intercepted Danny White and returned it for a Touchdown. It sparked a second half comeback win for the 'Skins, and a Sweep of the Cowboys that year. How Sweet!!
He was before my time but I remember growing up and seeing how fast he was and competing in those NFL fastest man competitions at the Pro Bowl. Darrell Green was still faster than majority of a lot of the younger guys at an older age. He was gifted!!!!
From a Cowboys fan, CONGRATS, glad to see that you are officially NOT coming back. This was all high quality and in excellent taste.
Im too grown to be tearing up like this 😢 #28 ❤💛❤️
Darrell Green A True Legend on and off the Field!!!
Oh man this was fabulous. What a great player and a gentleman. Well done.
Darrel Green is the most deserving player and person, we love you #28‼️💯💪🏼
My all-time favorite Redskin, player, and cornerback. He kinda reminded me of Michael Jordon because you always knew he was going to do something spectacular on the field in every game. Well deserved 👏 🙌 👌 👍🏻
This was so well done, it made me feel like I was a part of it too lol. That's what fan experience is about. Congratulations #28
I'm a Cowboys fan. 28 was the truth! He deserves this. Happy for you man.
As an Eagles fan, I admit that Darrell Green was one of my favorite players! Congratulations!!
Applauses to a great legend of a great NFL team!!! Thanks for all those amazing plays in which you Darrell set the tone of a great deffensive!
😭😭😭 Love this guy! So nice to see the team being run the way it should be.
I grew up watching Darryl Green as a Patriots but Darryl was one of those ones. I loved watching him play. Hard worker and very humble guy.
49er fan here…. what a legend. Loved watching this man do his thing. Congrads GOAT
Wow wow wowwwww i jus clocked into work this is so unfair got me up here tearing up this is incredible 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Darrell Green is my father's favorite player. We always loved watching him on Sundays
I dont even like Washington.... one of the greatest. What a class act on and off the field. Congratulations Mr. Green. Living in Virginia I watched you week in and week out without a choice (Falcons Fan) but you always stood out. Salute.
Always loved his heart and class. My all-time favorite player! Much deserved!!!
Love it. Green has always been one of my football heroes. Brought tears to my eyes.
Hail yeah!!!! Much deserved!!!! My favorite player of all time!!! This got me in the feels!!! Congrats #28!!!
I know nothin of him but seems like such a classy humble man with a beautiful family !!🙏
All those beautiful grand babies! Dude is living the life! Congrats
That's was amazing. Happy for the Green family and the Great 28!!!
The only thing missing from this beautiful day was him going out there and running a 40 yard dash 🫶
😂 True
He’s probably still fast
Dude is 64 and likely hasn't trained in years. I'm betting he still put up a 4.8 or faster.
Born in Dallas. Cowboy fan for life. Watched Darrell during his career. Fastest man in the NFL and the best CB in the league. Pure class. To be fair, why his jersey had not already been retired is kind of beyond me as he absolutely deserved it based on his career.
Old Regime Dropped the ball on ST but the new one showing the Most respect for DG. LOVE IT.
Well Deserved and well Done!!!! #RaiseHail
🔥🔥🔥 long overdue
He humbly accepted this award, recognized and appreciated it. What a class act! As a lifelong Eagles fan, Character overcomes rivalry. Enjoy your retirement and beautiful family!
Darrell Green is a Baaaaadd man! Thank you Mr. Green for making my Sundays so special watching you play living in LA. You brought your A-game every time I saw you play. Well deserved and continued greatness!
LET'S GOOOOO! HTTR 4LIFE
A great football player and even better man who never got the attention he deserves congratulations to one of the greatest
From a Saints fan, that's what's up!! DG28 is one of the greats and I'm glad that I got to see him play!!
Texas is proud of you Darrell!
