A Brief History

The Washington Redskins are a professional American football team based in the Washington, D.C. area. The team plays at FedExField in Landover, Maryland, which is in Prince George's County, Maryland. The team's headquarters and training facility are at Redskin Park in Ashburn, Virginia, a community in Loudoun County, Virginia near Dulles International Airport. They are members of the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL).

According to Forbes Magazine, the Redskins are the most valuable sports team in the United States, valued at approximately $1.423 billion, and have been the most valuable sports team in the U.S. for seven years running. They are the wealthiest and most profitable team in the NFL, generating over $300 million in revenue and netting over $100 million annually. They have also broken the NFL's mark for single-season attendance six years in a row[2] due to having the NFL's largest stadium capacity.

Overall, the Redskins have played for eleven NFL Championships and have won five, including three of the five Super Bowls in which they have played. Four of the five Super Bowls were under the leadership of Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs.

The Redskins are one of only two teams in the NFL with an official marching band. The other is the Baltimore Ravens. The Redskins were also one of the first teams to have a fight song, "Hail to the Redskins."

Rookie Trent Williams is receiving loads of attention as he attempts to replace retired six-time Pro Bowl left tackle Chris Samuels in protecting the quarterback's blind side.

However, the fourth overall pick isn't the only Washington newcomer with big shoes to fill.

Nick Sundberg, who has yet to play in an NFL regular-season game, has taken over for veteran long snapper Ethan Albright, a Redskins fixture for nine virtually flawless seasons.

Albright, who was chosen for the Pro Bowl in 2007, wasn't re-signed by the new regime because he turned 39 in May and had back surgery during the offseason.

"I've known who Ethan was for years," said Sundberg, who turns 23 on July 29, the day camp opens.
