MONK, MANN TAKE IN TIGER PRACTICE

HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, VA (August 16, 2004)--Former Washington Redskin greats Art Monk and Charles Mann were on campus Monday to watch the Tigers football practice and add a few words of advice and encouragment to the 2004 squad. Monk and Mann were in town along with Hampden-Sydney alum Joe Dunn ('93) and the three took in lunch with President Emeritus General Sam Wilson and hung around to eat with the team.
 

Art Monk is the all-time leading receiver in Washington Redskins history.  Monk holds the team records for most career receptions (888), most career receiving yards (12,026), most receptions in a game (13 vs. Detroit in 1990) and most receptions in a season (106, 1984).  When he retired after the 1995 season, he held the NFL record for most career receptions (940) and he now currently ranks fourth all-time in that category.  A three-time pro bowler, Monk helped lead the Redskins to four Super Bowls, including three Super Bowl victories.  Monk was also voted as one of the top-70 Washington Redskins of all time in 2003. 

Mann entered the NFL with the Washington Redskins in 1983 and went on to become one of the 70 greatest Redskins of all time. He played with the Redskins for 12 years, compiling over 90 sacks in that tenure, which rates second all-time in Redskin history.  He was a four-time Pro Bowler and he helped lead the Redskins to Super Bowl victories in 1987 and 1991.
