Riggins' Number 44 Retired | Washington Commanders News
Description
The Washington Commanders are set to honor legendary running back John Riggins with the retirement of his iconic number 44 jersey — a fitting tribute for a Hall of Famer and Super Bowl MVP who redefined power running and left an indelible mark on the franchise. Celebrated with nicknames like “Diesel” and “Riggo,” Riggins shattered franchise records, led the league in rushing twice, and etched his name in history with a legendary touchdown run in Super Bowl XVII. This ceremony, scheduled for Sunday, November 8th against the Rams, marks the seventh jersey retirement under new ownership and follows the footsteps of Darrell Green and Art Monk — cementing Riggins’ legacy as one of the team’s all-time greats.
