Monk set NFL records for most catches in a season (106) and most consecutive games with a reception (164). He became the all-time receptions leader with his 820th catch in 1992 and finished with 940. His records have since been broken, but mainly because rules and philosophy changes have led to a wide-open era in the passing game.
The 1980 first-round draft pick made the Pro Bowl three consecutive years (1984-86), and the Redskins won the Super Bowl three times during his 14 seasons with the team. He retired in 1995 after anticlimactic seasons with the New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles.

On the field, Green played on two Super Bowl championship teams and earned seven trips to the Pro Bowl, the last at age 37. He was a starter until age 40 and a regular on defense until the final weeks of his career. He never tried to shop himself in free agency and became, along with Jackie Slater, one of two players in NFL history to play with one team for 20 seasons. He embraced the notion that athletes should be role models and once apologized for a very mild touchdown celebration.
