"Sonny Jurgensen is, and always will be, one of the defining legends of Washington football," Commanders majority owner Josh Harris said. “He was a brilliant leader, Hall of Fame quarterback, and had one of the best arms the game has ever seen.”
Friday was a sad day for the Washington Commanders, the NFL and the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Longtime former Washington quarterback Sonny Jurgensen passed away at 91. The Commanders honored Jurgensen, who has his No. 9 jersey retired by the franchise.
Virtually no one in the history of Washington, D.C. pro sports has had Sonny Jurgensen's mixture of electricity and personality.
