OK. I gave this a like and stopped at 10 seconds. DONE. There is no argument. Art Monk is automatic for the Hall of Fame.

As a Dallas fan, all i can remember is him always catching the ball ,moving the chains and scoring tds.

Art Monk is a legit HOF man. Keep in mind that he was the first to break the 100-catch in a season, he finished with 106 { I think } in 1984, when the Redskins had " th' Diesel " John Riggins and they were known for their power running game. When he retired he held most receiving records, and did it all with the upmost class. If you haven't seen his HOF induction, watch it, that says it all.

Escolha uma garota pra sua vida, do mesmo jeito que Aya olha pro Razer, oh não espere não existe nenhuma nesse nível.

Bird was running in the stands at practice to keep up with the Lakers pace. Salute.

He was one of the greatest receivers of all time. Anyone who thinks differently is dumb!

Class personified HTTR

Though I liked Gary Clark better than Art Monk, Monk was still a better WR. His hands and route-running was crazy. Gary Clark was faster and had a bit more flair, I’ll say.

The epitome of professional. Today players are worried about their 'legacy' while in their rookie contract.

The NBA in 1983.. fueled by pride passion and cocaine..

I never understood the criticism that he received. He only ran short quick routes, which is false as explained in this video. He wasn't the first option or the player that the opponent game planned against, this is also disproven many times by the players and coaches who played and coached against him. He was a stat grabber and only had numbers because of longevity. Again, disproven, he broke the all time single season and redskins game record in a game that determined who would win the NFC EAST on a 3RD AND LONG!! He broke the all time reception record on Monday Night Football against the Broncos when washington needed to win out to make the playoffs, again this was in a key game that the team needed. So, how is he stat padding? I really think he was punished because: Joe Gibbs and the perception that Joe coached up good players to play great. He didn't hotdog after every big play or talk trash in the middle of games or do interviews telling everyone how good he is. Jerry Rice played during the same era and his play greatly overshadowed other great WRs.

"Kareem set a record that should never be broken". Yeah, about that. Thanks for the upload, that is a great history piece!

The whole team was underated and disrespected

Excellent upload. Thanks. Do you have any NBA games from the 1980s?

And when Monk was enshrined at Canton, Dan Dierdorf could've said it again: "Good things do happen to good people."

The greatest football player to ever play the game #81 Art Monk #HTTRFORLIFE

A pure football player. Not many of those in the NFL any longer.

The late, unlamented Paul Zimmerman, Sports Illustrated's "Dr. Z" who single-handedly kept Monk out of the Hall for as long as he could, called Monk a "compiler". No, a compiler is a guy like Largent whose teams never did anything. If you accumulate catches, yards, first downs, and TDs for a team that goes to five NFC Championship Games, four Super Bowls, and wins three like Monk did, that's not "compiling"; that's called contributing to championships. Dr. Z is deceased, and he is not missed.

when we first started getting NFL in UK in the earl 80s Washington were my team, Monk for me was a standout, a class athlete and human being. Massively deserved his HoF induction.

Longest standing ovation in HOF history! One of the greatest Redskins and NFL players ever and a class act!

Great player and great person!

Not only fast, but very physical, willing to dish out punishment.

Got a question for all the Redskins fans are you Commaders fans it seems like the Commander are a new team like the Redskins lost there history over night

People forget that he also ran defenders over. He didn't shy away from contact, and still has the record for most consecutive catches. He was a beast. He was the prototype for what was to come with big receivers.

Retired the all time leader in receptions and consecutive games with a reception yet hall voters were like "nah".

Nice to see this. I'm the the guy who made it. And yes, it WAS a labor of love. I sent this to every voter on the HOF committee because I was SO SICK AND TIRED of reading these utterly STUPID arguments from certain voters. I had a ton of old Redskin games in my collection, and I decided the best way to refute the arguments was with VISUAL EVIDENCE. So I started going through all the games and finding tons of that evidence and honestly addressing each argument while showing how wrong each argument was. I heard back from a few of the voters who appreciated this and said it helped sway their opinion. Mission accomplished. Not that Monk should've NEEDED any help. He should've been a first-ballot HOFer. But I was happy, and honored, to help push things along a little.

A lot of these Washington Redskins players of the Joe Gibbs era were low key great…no one was flashy just played great TEAM football…Art Monk deserves a lot more credit then he gets…Hopefully we get new ownership and get back to new glory days

Is that Bill fucking Belichick???

Art was low key, restrained, humble, and honorable. These qualities probably delayed his induction into the "hey, look at me"!!! Hall of Fame nonsense.

If he's not a hall of famer nobody is

One record a lot of people may not know about Monk is that he holds the record for the longest ovation in history when announced for his enshrinement a the Hall Of Fame at 4 minutes and 4 seconds. Yeah, I think that says he belongs. Art Monk always reminded me of another hall of fame receiver for the Redskins, Charley Taylor. In fact, Charley Taylor was the receiver coach for all of Monk’s career. I think that’s why their play was similar. Taylor was a very tall, strong receiver who could play across the middle, where little receivers don’t dare to tread. Taylor and Monk were both punishing receivers who were also brutal downfield blockers. Playing across the middle is linebacker territory, rather than corners and safeties. Monk and Taylor were large enough to take the punishment from those linebackers. Proof was both of their longevity playing the WR position. Both Monk and Taylor held the most career receptions record at one time.

I’ve shared this video numerous times with people interested in football history, it’s a shame not more people know about the Gibbs era teams

Great years

When someone is the answer to a trivia question--YOU ARE A HALL OF FAME PLAYER!

"Does Monk belong in the Hall of Fame?" Does a bear shit where ever it wants?!?!?!?!?

Back before they started wearing those BUTT--UGLY mustard leggings again.

ART MONK HOF END OF CONVERSATION HAIL TO THE REDSKINS FOREVER NEVER A COMMANDER NEVER

Money Monk sums it up best , great player even greater man .

I cant believe anyone thinks Monk isnt a HOFer

It was a crime it took that long for him to get in the hall, but I am just glad that he is in.

Nice 👍 mv

The best that ever did it👍🏾👏🏾❤️🤩

Monk was the go to guy, when you needed a big play! 💯

They missed out his awesome block on Tony Lilley in SB XXII , dude played a dogs dinner after that.

I think I read this once, in his 100 catch season he caught 28 passes on third down, 27 of them were for a first down.

He put up numbers in a predominately run first era. On 3rd down and whatever, you knew the ball was going to Monk, and defenders still couldn't stop him. His go to route was always the out route. Didn't matter if you needed 5, 10, 15, or even 20 yards, he was getting that first down. He also had the sneaky deep speed to beat you over the top if you tried cheating the out route.

Anyone who thinks he dosent belong smokes more than twice the crack as LT in his prime crack days.

thank you to whoever made this.....growing up I watched art monk play football and it is my belief that he was/Is one of the greatest football players ever....That man could catch a ball from damn near Anywhere....he was truly Great but humble and an inspiration to me.

Art Monk is in the Hall of Fame now for the same reason Terrell Owens wasn't for awhile. Was Monk the most talented receiver? No. Was he the fastest? No. Was he the most electric? No. He simply played the game quietly and as an unspoken leader who was respected by every single person who met him. When your best WR doesn't care about his stats, that bleeds into other players on the team. And it's not like Monk doesn't have the stats, he does. He could have accumulated a lot more numbers if that's what he cared about. When you're looking at the Redskins dynasty, you're looking at Joe Gibbs, Art Monk, and Darrell Green. Three of the most widely respected people in NFL history. It all worked because the coach, best offensive player, and best defensive player were all on the same page. Gary Clark may have eventually ended up as the "most talented" WR on the team, but he would be the first to tell you Art Monk was the best. That kind of leadership works wonders for a team.

The most underrated receiver ever in my opinion, I think that Gary Clark should be in the HOF too..
