288. Charles Mann

From the University of Nevada, Charles Mann became a starter at Defensive End in his second season, where he was a punisher on the pass rush.  Playing for the Washington Redskins for his first 11 Seasons (1983-93) had 82 of his 83 career Sacks with Washington, including three four seasons in the double-digits. 

Mann went to four Pro Bowls with the Redskins (1987, 1988, 1989 & 1991), and helped them win two Super Bowls (XXII & XXVI). He was especially strong in the 1987 postseason, accruing 4.5 Sacks in the playoffs.  Mann was praised for his work ethic and leadership and was one of the most beloved players in Redskins defensive history in and out of the locker room. 

Following his release from Washington in 1993, Mann signed with the San Francisco 49ers where he played one final season and helped in a reserve role win his third Super Bowl.
