Timeline

1959

Dexter Keith Manley (born February 2, 1959) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive end in the National Football League (NFL), primarily with the Washington Redskins.

He also played for the Phoenix Cardinals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as well as in the Canadian Football League (CFL) for the Ottawa Rough Riders.

1981

Manley played college football for the Oklahoma State Cowboys and was selected by the Redskins in the fifth round of the 1981 NFL Draft.

Manley was drafted in the fifth round (119th overall) of the 1981 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins, where he played for nine seasons.

His total rises to 103.5 when the six sacks he had his rookie year of 1981, when sacks were not yet an official statistic, are included.

After his career in the United States ended, he revealed that he was functionally illiterate, despite having studied at Oklahoma State University for four years.

1986

During his career with the Redskins, Manley won two Super Bowl titles and was a Pro Bowler in 1986 when he recorded a Redskins single-season record of 18.5 sacks.

He first learned about the cyst in 1986 after he collapsed in a Georgetown, Washington, D.C. department store.

His prognosis was for a relatively full recovery, although doctors have said that memory loss is a common side effect of the operation.

1989

In 1989, Manley failed his third drug test, with an opportunity to apply for reinstatement after one year.

He then played for the Phoenix Cardinals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

1991

However, after he failed his fourth drug test, he retired on December 12, 1991.

He had a series of arrests related to his drug problem and was ultimately convicted and served two years in prison.

Officially, Manley had 97.5 quarterback sacks in his career.

1992

Manley also played two seasons in the CFL with the Ottawa Rough Riders (1992 and 1993).

He was nicknamed the "Secretary of Defense" during his time with the Redskins.

He resides in suburban Washington with his family.

2006

Manley underwent brain surgery in June 2006 to treat a colloid cyst.

2011

In "The Shame of College Sports", a 2011 article in The Atlantic by Taylor Branch (prior to the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Education, Arts, and Humanities in 1989), Manley was famously quoted as saying that he had been functionally illiterate in college.

2020

In May 2020, it was announced that Manley had tested positive for COVID-19.
