Darrell Green Jersey Retirement Ceremony

Darrell Green, a legendary cornerback who spent his entire 20-year career with the Washington Commanders, was honored in a significant way over the weekend. On Saturday, October 19, 2024, Green was presented with the key to the city by the Mayor of Washington, D.C., in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the community and his illustrious football career.

The following day, during a halftime ceremony at a game against the Detroit Lions, the Washington Commanders retired Green’s jersey number, 28. This ceremony was a testament to his enduring legacy and the high esteem in which he is held by the team and its fans.

Green’s career is marked by numerous accolades, including two Super Bowl wins and a reputation for being one of the greatest cornerbacks in NFL history. His dedication and excellence on the field have made him a beloved figure in the D.C. area, and his off-field contributions have further solidified his status as a community legend.

The retirement of his jersey number ensures that Darrell Green’s legacy will continue to be celebrated by future generations of football fans and the community at large.
