History Sammy Baugh Legacy

The Legacy of Sammy Baugh

Redskins owner Daniel M. Snyder

"Sammy Baugh embodied all we aspire to at the Washington Redskins. He was a competitor in everything he did and a winner. He was one of the greatest to ever play the game of football, and one of the greatest the Redskins ever had."

Bill Dudley, Former Redskins Running Back and Hall of Famer
"He was the best, as far as I'm concerned. He could not only throw the ball. He could play defense, he could punt the football, he ran it when he had to. He and I roomed together, and he was a football man. He knew football, played it, and everybody had a lot of confidence in him."

Ace Parker, NFL Quarterback (1937-46) and Hall of Famer

"He was the best passer I ever saw. He could do everything. He could pass, he could play defense, he was the best kicker, and he still holds the single-season punting record."
