Washington Commanders har bekreftet at tidligere Super Bowl-mester Monte Coleman er død, 68 år gammel. Coleman, som ble hentet opp som nummer 276 i draften i 1979, tilbrakte hele sin 16 år lange karriere som linebacker for laget.
Han var en avgjørende spiller i alle tre Super Bowl-seierne under trener Joe Gibbs og er i dag innlemmet i lagets Ring of Fame. «Monte Coleman var en av de største spillerne i Washingtons historie,» uttalte lagets eier Josh Harris i en pressemelding. «Han var en av pilarene i våre mesterskapforsvar og satte standarden for hva det betydde å representere Burgundy Gold.»
Etter spillerkarrieren fortsatte Coleman som trener og ledet Arkansas-Pine Bluff i ti sesonger, med en seierprosent på 36 prosent (40-71).
