Dexter Manley — the defensive end who led the Redskins in sacks for multiple seasons, won two Super Bowl championships, and earned the nickname \"Secretary of Defense\" for his ability to wreak havoc in opposing backfields — appears on this 1988 Topps card, PSA-certified at 8 NEAR MINT. Condition: NOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🌟 \u003cstrong\u003eHouston, Texas — Oklahoma State Cowboys — The Journey to Washington\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDexter Keith Manley was born February 2, 1959, in Houston, Texas — a city whose football tradition runs from high school powerhouses through the NFL and that shaped the physicality and competitive drive of the defensive end who would become Washington's most feared pass rusher. Manley played his college football at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater under head coach Jim Stanley before the Washington Redskins selected him in the fifth round of the 1981 NFL Draft. The fifth-round selection turned into one of the most productive pass rushers in franchise history — a player whose combination of first-step quickness, motor, and hand technique made him the dominant edge rusher of the Redskins' championship years. The 1988 Topps #20 PSA 8 NEAR MINT captures Manley during the championship era.

The Redskins won Super Bowl XVII after the 1982 season and Super Bowl XXII after the 1987 season — with Manley contributing the pass-rushing pressure that disrupted opposing quarterbacks and set the tone for the physical identity of Washington's championship defenses. Manley led the Redskins in sacks multiple times and his nickname \"Secretary of Defense\" spoke to both his role and the playful personality that made him one of the most colorful figures in the franchise's history. The 1988 Topps card is the vintage document of the two-time champion during the peak of his career.
