Darryl Grant
Darryl Grant was one of the most dominant football players in San Antonio history and wears two Super Bowl Championship rings today.
Grant started his career as a menace on local high school fields, starring as a two-way lineman at Highlands High School. He later became a star offensive lineman at Rice University before being drafted by the Washington Redskins in 1981 in the 9th round of the NFL Draft.
Upon being drafted by the Redskins, Grant switched sides of the football, converting his dominance to the defensive line. He spent ten seasons in Washington, where he helped win two Super Bowls, in 1982 and 1987. In 1990, he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he spent one season before retiring from football in 1991. In 2002, he was selected by the Redskins’ organization as one of the 70 Greatest Players of the team’s history.
