Monte Coleman, who performed 16 seasons with Washington’s NFL franchise, has died. He was 68.
His demise was introduced by the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, the place he’d served as head soccer coach from 2008 to 2017.
No explanation for demise was detailed.
“Coach Coleman represented everything we strive for at UAPB excellence, integrity, and a relentless commitment to developing our student-athletes,” UAPB Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Chris Robinson stated in a launch.
“His legacy is not only written in championships and honors, but in the lives he changed every single day.”
Coleman performed as a linebacker for the Washington workforce from 1979 to 1994. During the workforce’s heyday, he proved to be an important utility participant on three Super Bowl-winning groups.
A local of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Coleman performed in 215 video games for Washington, second solely to Washington Hall of Famer (*68*) Green for many video games performed in franchise historical past.
Coleman was inducted into the Commanders Ring of Fame in 2015.
