HapHaszard Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Up Close: Served as the Honorary Chairman for the 1991 Multiple Sclerosis Readathon Program Contributed an endowment to Ohio State which will generate a football scholarship annually in his name. Career Highlights: Jim has played in two pro bowls. One as a member of the NFC (1990) squad and the other in the AFC (1987) team. He was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week vs Miami last season. Jim has been named a first-team all -pro in each of the past two seasons. Obtained in 1988 in trade with Los Angeles Raiders for Jay Schroeder. 1990 Season: Jim's peers said all that needed to be said about the kind of year he had in 1990 when they named him the top vote getter at tackle in the Pro Bowl, and as the NFC's Offensive Lineman of the Year. "It would be hard to have had a better year than Jim had last season," said offensive line coach Jim Hanifan. "He's one of the top two offensive linemen in the league. He's got a tenacity and determination that wants him to be the best player he can possibly be. And he's going to get better." That might be hard to believe, especially after the kind of year Jim had last season. In the dominating week 12 win over Miami, Jim was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week (only the second offensive lineman in six years to win the award) as the Redskin offensive line paved the way for 222 yards on the ground against the league's top rushing defense. And when facing the league's best Jim was at his best. He stopped Chicago's Richard Dent, New Orleans' Pat Swilling and Buffalo's Bruce Smith without a sack. Besides his outstanding play, Jim's dependability to line up week-in and week-out also was a plus. Along with Jeff Bostic, he was the only lineman to start every game. "The key factor with Jim now is to continue to demand of himself even better play," said Hanifan. "He is the type of player that will do that.

pjfootballer Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Steal of the century. If it weren't for injuries he'd be in consideration for the HOF. I think he had the best technique ever for a LT and that included LTs in the HOF. I think he was the best ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
