James Washington was a member of the Dallas Cowboys in the 90's, joining them in two of their 3 Super Bowls. One of his most notable performances was in Super Bowl XXVIII when Thurman Thomas, after being tackled by Leon Lett, fumbled the ball, Washington returned it for a 46 yard touchdown to tie the game.
Washington was a starter at strong safety throughout the 1992 season. He lost his starting spot during training camp for the 1993 season because of the emergence of second year safety Darren Woodson. Throughout the '93 season Washington was a reserve and nickel defensive back. In Super Bowl XXVIII the Buffalo Bills ran a three receiver single back formation. The Cowboys base defense most of the day would be in nickel(5 defensive backs)so Washington made the best of this starting opportunity by recording a fumble returned for a touchdown, causing a fumble that was recovered by Leon Lett and an interception. Washington would regain a full time starting position the following season(1994) at free-safety with the departure of Thomas Everett.
In 1995 he signed a free agent contract with the Washington Redskins. He is currently co-host of FOX Sports Radio show Out Of Bounds on Fox with Craig Shemon.[1]
