A Washington Commanders legend died Tuesday

Legendary Washington cornerback Pat Fischer, who was an All-Pro during his career with Washington, died at 84-years-old Tuesday.

Fischer played for Washington and St. Louis during his 17-year career. Fischer’s career spanned the 60s and the 70s, making him a part of the introduction of the modern era of football that we know and love today.

Fischer spent his college years playing for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and solidified himself as one of the most successful NFL Huskers in history. His 17-year NFL career is second to his fellow Nebraska captain Ron McDole in terms of longest Husker NFL careers. Irving Fryar and Mick Tinglehoff are right behind Fischer with 16 years in the NFL.

Fischer, a member of the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame, impacted many fans with his two-decade-long football career. Those fans took to social media to express their condolences for Fischer and his family.
