A long time Redskins fan will surely recognize the name Sammy Baugh. This man was one of the best in his time, and a world class quarterback who revolutionized the use of the forward pass.

Slingin’ Sammy Baugh, the ultimate three-way threat, died tonight at 94 years old.

Sammy played with the Redskins from 1937 to 1952. He led them to the NFL title his first season and again in 1942. In 1943, he led the NFL in passing, punting and defensive interceptions. Baugh was the last surviving member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s inaugural class.

Sammy Baugh was a great football player and an inspiration to many. He will be missed.
