The Washington Commanders will retire Art Monk's jersey (#81) during a Week 9 game. This marks the team's first use of their new alternate white jerseys. Monk, a crucial part of the team's three Super Bowl victories and a Hall of Fame inductee in 2008, becomes the sixth player to have their number retired in the team's history. His work ethic and humility set a standard for wide receivers both in Washington and across the NFL. Teammates credit him for his reliability and support, while Monk acknowledges the team's collective effort in achieving success.
"You showed us what greatness looked like every single day in your work ethic and your humility and how you carried this franchise with dignity," Clark told Monk.
"I can sit here and take all the credit, but a lot of the credit also goes to them and to the rest of my teammates because a team is a team," Monk said.
