In the 1980s, defensive backs had nightmares of defending Monk. Monk, a wide receiver who stands 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 210 pounds, used his body and athleticism to outrun DBs on his way to the end zone. The former Washington Redskin was forceful while assaulting. He would scare less talented players in the red zone by boxing them out like a basketball player going for a rebound. Monk was essentially the anti-receiver since he avoided talking much and preferred to block. Monk might have been converted to tight end given his skill set, but he was simply too excellent of an athlete to stay within the numbers. The Pro Football Hall of Famer and three-time Super Bowl victor was a superb athlete.
