5 days agoSonny Jurgensen - the quarterback who resurrected Washington football
Sonny Jurgensen learned he had been traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the team now known as the Washington Commanders while eating lunch on April 1, 1964. He thought it was an April Fool's prank. Jurgensen had been in the NFL for seven seasons, all with the Eagles. He had been their starter for the last three years and had led the league in total passing yards in two of them. In 1961, he also led the league in touchdowns.
