Only the fifth player in franchise history to receive this honor. Total idol of mine growing up. Thank God this wasn’t under Snyders watch.

What a talented group.

Re: Congratulations 28! Nobody deserves it more!
 

Awesome and long overdue.

Long overdue

Love the way he found out, great job by ownership

Do Art Monk next :)

Congrats to 28, well deserved. I'm sure he was thrilled that this was done under Harris and not Snyder too.

I have heard this as well. I don't think DG likes to be bothered at all w/ fans, and if that's the case perhaps don't live in the DC area. Some guys like Doug, Dexter, Theismann or BMitch love it and embrace it, others like DG or Monk just aren't good w/ it and just want to be left alone.

Huh, I wouldn't have guessed this. That's not cool.

Never met DG, but Riggo was the same way when I met him as a kid. Not sure how he is now.

Re: Congratulations 28! Nobody deserves it more!
 

To be fair there are a lot of fans and while the majority may be respectful some don't understand boundaries and I can see how that would make them cautious of any fan, especially when they are out and about with their family.

This was dealing with him on a professional level , it wasn’t me running up to him all starry eye

There are worst people, he was short and rude to me and my co workers multiple times

He is still my favorite player of all time

I think the perception is when you see him on TV he seems very likable but man when that camera turns off totally different person

Re: Congratulations 28! Nobody deserves it more!
 

Love DG but yeah I’ve heard he’s got a healthy ego, most big time athletes do.

He does a good job of coming off very likable in public… it’s possible to be both personable while also having a giant ego

Fair enough, professional setting calls for professional behaviour

Unless he needed a porta pot. [emoji1750]

Re: Congratulations 28! Nobody deserves it more!
 

DG made a strange comment on the draft stage last night — “I’m back!”, which no one in that circus atmosphere knew what he was talking about. “Well, not as a player, but on the sidelines.”

We all get this, but an oddly self-centered thing to say in that context.

Riggins and Green my favorites from yesteryear. Long-live the undersized corner lol

I thought he just meant I'm back on the stage, then tried to make it a joke like 'no, I'm actually back'. Didn't read too much into it. Unless he actually is coming back as a coach or something?

I took it that he was back from his exile during the Snyder era.

Who knows what he meant, either way it was a bit of that giant ego shining through IMO

Still love DG though

Congratulations 28! Nobody deserves it more!
 

He said Im back! On the sidelines.

Was just being funny like hey i can still play! From the sidelines!

Didn’t take it as self centered. Just being silly.

Re: Congratulations 28! Nobody deserves it more!
 

The only time I ever "spoke" with DG was at two (free) autograph signings. He was polite but businesss like with everyone. I thanked him and he said, "No problem". His wife was in my high school class, but name-dropping would have been tacky to say the least.

I went to a free signing with Art Monk at some mall years ago. I figured he would be the same as DG considering his reputation for shyness. Not quite. While he was far from jolly like Theismann or Dexter, he was all smiles and looked to be enjoying himself. And he even laughed at a joke I cracked.

I know, hardly high level encounters. But it's all I got.

Congrats DG!

DG was so fast he could probably run on water, and Jesus isn't keeping up!😉

Re: Congratulations 28! Nobody deserves it more!
 

Congrats to a legend! Wish I could have seen him play live. Everyone raved about his tenure, speed, and extraordinary work ethic. Great seeing this.

Yeah he's obviously my favorite all time player but I know this to be true. His appearance at the draft was embarrassing.

But I'm really glad the team did this, about time we change this stupid "retired number but not really officially retired number" crap.
