Washington Commanders har meddelt, at tidligere Super Bowl-mester Monte Coleman er død i en alder af 68 år. Coleman, der var en af de mest markante spillere i klubbens historie, tilbragte hele sin 16-årige karriere som linebacker hos holdet fra 1979 til 1994.
Coleman var en afgørende del af alle tre Super Bowl-sejre under træneren Joe Gibbs og er optaget i klubbens Ring of Fame som anerkendelse for sin betydning for holdet.
"Monte Coleman var en af de største spillere i Washingtons historie," udtalte Josh Harris, ejer af Washington Commanders, i en officiel erklæring. "Han var en af bærerne af vores mesterskabsforsvar og spillede på alle tre Super Bowl-vindende hold. Hans udholdenhed og lederskab satte standarden for, hvad det betød at repræsentere Burgundy Gold."
Efter sin aktive karriere fortsatte Coleman som træner og stod i spidsen for Arkansas-Pine Bluff i ti år. Her opnåede han en rekord på 40-71, inden han trak sig tilbage fra trænergerningen.
