John Earl Washington (born February 20, 1963) is a former
1986 NFL Draft.[1]
One of his biggest contributions to the game while playing for the Giants was making a goal line stand in a 1990 divisional playoff game versus the Chicago Bears. On 4th and goal at the Giants' 1 yard line, Washington eluded a blocker and stuffed fullback Brad Muster. His stop prevented the Bears from cutting into the Giants' 10-0 second quarter lead and the Giants cruised the rest of the way to a 31-3 victory en route to their second Super Bowl championship.
