Darrell Ray Green (born February 15, 1960) is an American former professional football player who was a cornerback in the National Football League (NFL) for the Washington Redskins from 1983 to 2002. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest cornerbacks to have ever played in the NFL.[1] Green was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2008.

The self-proclaimed "itty bitty guy,"[2] Green was nicknamed "the Ageless Wonder" by his peers and the general media[3][4] for his ability to maintain a high level of play well into the twilight of his career.
