1973 TOPPS #371 VERLON BIGGS PSA 8 NM-MT Washington Redskins -JETS SB III Winner

Description: Verlon Marion Biggs (March 16, 1943 – June 7, 1994) was an American professional football player who was a defensive end in the American Football League (AFL) and National Football League (NFL). He played for the New York Jets (AFL) in Super Bowl III, but felt he didn't receive enough credit for the Jets' playoff win against the Oakland Raiders in the AFL Championship Game that launched them into the Super Bowl. He played well but sulked until 1971, demanded more money, and wound up signing with George Allen's Washington Redskins. Always a dominating defensive end, Biggs solidified Allen's defense along with fellow newcomers Diron Talbert, Myron Pottios and Jack Pardee, plus holdovers Pat Fischer, Chris Hanburger, Brig Owens and Mike Bass, and led the Redskins into Super Bowl VII. His nickname with the Redskins was "Dirty Biggs" because of his extremely physical style of play.
