Albert George Haynesworth III (born June 17, 1981) is an American former football defensive tackle who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 10 seasons. He played college football at the University of Tennessee and was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the first round of the 2002 NFL draft. Haynesworth was with the Titans for seven seasons, where he was one of the league's top defensive tackles between 2007 and 2008.[1] He received Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro honors during both seasons.
Haynesworth became a highly coveted free agent after his 2008 campaign, which led to him signing a seven-year, $100 million contract with the Washington Redskins.[2][3] However, Haynesworth would play only 20 games in two seasons for Washington until he was traded in 2011. During his short time with the Redskins, he often exhibited laziness and ineffectiveness on the field. As a result, the Redskins' acquisition of Haynesworth is considered a very bad free agent signing.[4] He played his final season in 2011 with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
