These days it seems that sports fans, news mediums and the general populace are in need of legends. We give our favorite athletes and entertainers labels such as “great” or “legendary” sometimes before they’ve proven anything.
Let’s be honest, we do this because it adds an element of fun and most of us enjoy tracking the progressions of our heroes. Many of them will fly under the radar and are acknowledged only after years of success. Jim Zorn, the new Head Coach of the Washington Redskins has the opportunity to do just that.
Since Zorn has arrived he’s been active in determining which prospects would be the best fit for the current roster. He’s spoken highly of his predecessor, Joe Gibbs and has become an active participant in accessing player’s skills.
Zorn told former Seahawk receiver D.J. Hackett he’d like to have him for the right price but wouldn’t over-pay for him. He also recently placed a collage of Sean Taylor’s pictures in his office, which shows he’s establishing a connection with Redskin community. He’s even alluded to giving unheralded players like receiver Anthony Mix playing time instead of letting him waste away on the bench.
Forgive me if this comes off as premature but Zorn seems to be moving in the right direction and has the preliminary makings of a great coach. There goes that word again, “great”.
We're going to send you the most entertaining Washington Redskins articles, videos, and podcasts from around the web.
