Timeline

1957

James Arthur Monk (born December 5, 1957) is an American former football wide receiver who played in the National Football League (NFL) for the Washington Redskins, the New York Jets and the Philadelphia Eagles.

He is considered by many NFL players, coaches, and analysts to be one of the greatest wide receivers of all-time.

1976

Monk attended and played college football at Syracuse University, where he was a four-year Orangemen letterman (1976–79).

1977

He led the team in receiving in 1977, 1978, and 1979 and still ranks in the top 10 on several school career record lists, including career receptions (sixth), all-time receiving yards (seventh), and receiving yards per game (ninth).

While there, Monk was a graduate of the College of Visual and Performing Arts.

1980

Monk was drafted in the first round of the 1980 NFL draft by the Washington Redskins.

During his rookie year, he was a unanimous All-Rookie selection and had 58 receptions, which was a Redskin rookie record.

He was named to the NFL 1980s All-Decade Team.

Monk also became the first player in the league to record a touchdown reception in 15 consecutive seasons, as well as the first player ever to record at least 35 receptions in 15 consecutive seasons.

Through the course of his 14 years with the Redskins, Monk converted nearly two-thirds of his 888 catches into first downs.

1983

Founded in 1983, the Art Monk Football Camp has graduated over 14,000 athletes.

1984

In 1984, Monk caught a then-NFL record 106 receptions for a career-best 1,372 yards.

He caught eight or more passes in six games, had five games of 100 yards or more, and in a game against the San Francisco 49ers caught ten passes for 200 yards.

That season, he earned team MVP honors and his first Pro Bowl selection.

Monk went over the 1,000-yard mark in each of the following two seasons, becoming the first Redskins receiver to produce three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons.

He also became the first Redskins player to catch 70 or more passes in three consecutive seasons.

He was an All-Pro and All-NFC choice in 1984 and 1985 and was named second-team All-NFC in 1986.

He was also selected to play in the Pro Bowl following the 1984, 1985 and 1986 seasons.

Nine times during his 15-season career with the Redskins, New York Jets, and Philadelphia Eagles, Monk exceeded 50 catches in a season and five times gained more than 1,000 receiving yards.

His record for most receptions in a season (106 in 1984) stood until broken by Sterling Sharpe's 108 in 1992.

1989

In 1989, he was part of a prolific wide receiver trio (along with Gary Clark and Ricky Sanders) nicknamed "The Posse, " who became the first trio of wide receivers in NFL history to post 1,000-plus yards in the same season.

During Monk's 14 seasons with the Redskins, the team won three Super Bowls (XVII, XXII, and XXVI) and had only three losing seasons.

1992

He also set the record for career receptions when he caught his 820th in a Monday Night game against Denver on October 12, 1992.

1993

With the retirement of James Lofton in 1993, he was the NFL's active leader in career receptions for just two weeks in 1994 before being passed by Jerry Rice.

He retired with the most consecutive games with a catch (183).

1995

He became the first player to eclipse 900 receptions, and pushed the record up to 940 before being overtaken by Jerry Rice in the final week of his last season (1995).

2008

Monk was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2008.

He is a relative (first cousin once removed) of jazz pioneer Thelonious Monk.

On August 2, 2008, Monk, along with fellow Washington Redskins teammate Darrell Green, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Upon his induction into the Hall of Fame, Monk received the longest standing ovation in Pro Football Hall of Fame history, lasting four minutes and four seconds when later timed by NFL Films.
