Green played for the Washington Redskins as a cornerback from 1983 to 2002. During his career, Green was known for his speed and was one of the fastest players in the history of the NFL. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2008 and in 2019 was named one of the top 100 greatest NFL players of all time.

In 1988, he founded the Darrell Green Youth Life Foundation, a faith-based charitable organization with a mission to “help children develop into leaders who positively influence their families and communities.”
