Happy # 75 John Riggins



We say happy birthday to John Riggins, the great NFL running back born on this day in 1949.     Riggins was inducted into NFL Hall of Fame in 1992.

John started his NFL career with the New York Jets in 1971 but his greatest seasons were with Washington Redskins, 1976-85:   7,472 rushing yards & 79 TD's

Who can forget that impressive 43-yard TD in Super Bowl XVII?    It was fabulous!
