Hall of Fame NFL quarterback Slingin’ Sammy Baugh died Wednesday night at the age of 94.

“There’s nobody any better than Sam Baugh was in pro football,” Don Maynard said in a 2002 interview. “When I see somebody picking the greatest player around, to me, if they didn’t go both ways, they don’t really deserve to be nominated. I always ask, ‘Well, how’d he do on defense? How was his punting?’”

During the last few years Baugh has had many health issues, he battled Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and he had bad kidneys, low blood pressure and double pneumonia.

He played with the Redskins from 1937 to 1952 and led them to two championships.

“Sammy Baugh embodied all we aspire to at the Washington Redskins,” Redskins owner Dan Snyder said. “He was a competitor in everything he did and a winner. He was one of the greatest to ever play the game of football, and one of the greatest the Redskins ever had. My thoughts and prayers are with his family tonight.”

People who had the pleasure of watching Baugh play say he was one of the best of all-time.

“He was amazing, just tremendously accurate,” Eddie LeBaron, who took over for Baugh in his last season, said. “He could always find a way to throw it off balance. I’ve seen him throw the ball overarm, sidearm and underarm and complete them.”

Rest in peace.
