The Tower of London


Today could be the one of the last games of the great career of Redskins LB London Fletcher. His list of accomplishments is quite long between Pro Bowls and a Super Bowl Championship with the Rams.

He was undrafted in 1998 and went on to have a stellar career with the Rams, Bills and Redskins. He will best be known for his remarkable consecutive game streak which will continue today with  255. He also started 213 at linebacker, a record for that position.

Fletcher's streak is amazing considering the physicality of his position and his age at 38. He had many chances to end it because of injury, but was always able to get on the field.

Hopefully, he is healthy ten years from now.
