Traces Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Sammy Baugh before his rookie year in the NFL, 1937. Sammy, all 6', 190 .lbs of him, would go on to revolutionize the Quarterback position and be a pivotal figure in the transformation of football from a slow, plodding slugfest into the high-scoring, big play affairs we see today. In his first season with the Redskins, Slingin’ Sammy, as he would be known, provided a preview of football’s modern era with his brilliant passing at tailback. He took Washington to the N.F.L. championship by throwing for three touchdowns in a 28-21 victory over the Chicago Bears in the title game on the frozen turf at Wrigley Field.
