Name That Washington Player

Thanks guys. I remember listening to pre-season games on the radio and hearing Sonny, Sam and Frank comment about Raphel bringing the lumber. I had to talk myself out of Tory Nixon and then have to admit, I double checked the interwebz to find out the other piece.

Since I am a newbie to this site, I did not go through the whole thread and was actually going to go with the Garbageman but since that has been used, let me go with someone else...

Philadelphia - Washington
12th round selection
His alma mater is the same as another famous Redskin, perhaps the most famous and successful Redskin but not as a player.
He had a whale of a game against the Chargers where the announcers suggested the team should change their color to match his name.
He got a ring.

Well, I didn't want to make it too easy but if 1963 is the year of your birth, you would definitely remember this guy.

To be clearer on the second hint, he is a player and played for the Redskins, he went to the same school as the most famous and successful Redskin, who did not play for the Redskins but did play in school where they both attended.

He was not an announcer, the announcers suggested that day, against the Chargers, that the team should change their color to match his name.

You got it Rook. His alma mater, San Diego State was also where Joe Gibbs played football and then began his coaching career. I see you have posted one, going to try without searching, first gut was Rypien as I knew he ended in Indy but not sure about the other stops.

You got him. Our Super Bowl MVP, Ring of Fame Canadian
 
Okay, I am up then...

Washington - Philadelphia - Kansas City - Philadelphia - Houston
He wore 59 with us and KC, 56 with Phily and 51 with Houston (the Texan variety not the Oilers)
He went to high school not far from me in Henrico County, VA and actually went to a private university with a unique mascot, no other college has this mascot, even closer to my house.
Not a star but flashed, including an INT for a TD against the Giants in a blowout in the late 90's and consistent on special teams.

he was born exactly 7 months after i was! lol
 
OK OK . . . wasn't going to answer, but its Shawn Barber. Drafted in 1998 and played 4 seasons with the Redskins i think. He was born on 1/14/1975 . . . i was born 7/14/1974. Don't remember why i remember that, but the birthday stuck out to me.
 
Yes sir and well done! One of my favorite hard working players and a local boy from here.
If you are up for it, you’re up
 
OK . . . here goes:

Seattle - Chicago - Washington

He was drafted by the Seahawks in 1996 and wore #93 for his entire career.

He attended high school in GA, played college football in GA and is currently coaching in Canada.

He played his last 6 years with the Redskins and was one of the few players to play both for Joe Gibbs and Mike Shanahan.
