Running Back 1989-93
Joined the NFL as a 10th-round pick by Cleveland in 1984, out of East Carolina… Obtained by the Redskins from the Browns in a Draft Day trade in 1989… Affectionately known as “EB” by teammates… Fifth leading Redskins’ rusher of all time with 3,950 yards… Contributed to 1991 Super Bowl Championship and appeared in the 1990 and 1991 Pro Bowls.

Most memorable moment occurred during the 1991-92 Super Bowl championship season, defeating the Falcons at a raucous Georgia Dome and conquering the Bills to “reach the ultimate goal of number one in the world.”

Lists his grandmother as greatest inspiration… Redskins gave him “the opportunity to start fresh and be part of team’s legacy and franchise excellence”… Most admired teammate was Art Monk.

Finished his playing days with the Baltimore Ravens and then became the team’s Director of Player Development and assistant running backs coach. In January 2004, he rejoined Joe Gibbs as the Redskins’ running backs coach.
