Ken Harvey entered the fold just a little too late, joining the Redskins in 1994. But despite his lack of Super Bowl rings and his bad timing, Harvey still found a way to make a mark on Redskins history.

Harvey spent more than half of his career with the Phoenix Cardinals, who drafted him in the first round of the 1988 NFL Draft. He had a modest stint as a starter with the team before losing his role in 1993. When the offseason hit, Harvey joined the Redskins at the age of 29.

Harvey’s move to D.C. would spark a late-career revival. The four best seasons of his career came in his first four years with the Redskins. He went to the Pro Bowl in each year, stating 62 of 64 possible games, notching a career-high 13.5 sacks in 1994.

After a superb four-year streak, however, Harvey’s 1998 season would be shortened due to injury, and it would be his final appearance in the NFL. Harvey’s time with the Redskins wasn’t as bountiful as others, but as a player, Harvey was an absolute game changer, bringing speed and physicality to the middle of the defense.
