One of the greatest recievers in the history of the game. It's a tragedy he hasnt made the hall of fame yet.
In a career spanning 16 seasons Monk was a possession receiver who, when he retired, held the record for NFL receptions in a season and in a career. Both records have both since been broken by today's pass-happy offenses. He played on three Super Bowl championship teams, although he was injured and did not play in Washington's first Super Bowl triumph after the 1982 season.
Art Monk was a class act all the way. He was not overly vocal or excitable, and he quietly went about his business of catching footballs. Little slants and outs were what he was best at, and he'd take you down the field six and seven yards at a time. This quiet demeanor and workman-like performance probably hurt Monk's chances to reach the Hall, although he has more catches than anyone currently on the rolls in Canton.
Edit by GH: fixed the picture for you
