Early life
Mann was born in Sacramento, California and attended Valley High School.
College career
Mann attended and played college football at the University of Nevada, where he played defensive end from 1979 to 1982. During his senior season, he led the Big Sky Conference with 14 sacks and was named the conference's Most Valuable Defensive Lineman.[2]
Professional career
Mann was drafted in the third round of the 1983 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins and by his second season, he was the starting left defensive end, opposite to Dexter Manley.[3] During this time, Mann had double-digit sack seasons four times, including a career-high 14.5 in 1985, which was just his third season in the NFL.[3]
Mann finished his career with the Redskins with 82 sacks, second-most in franchise history and won two Super Bowls (XXII and XXVI).[3] He was released by the Redskins and signed as a free agent with the San Francisco 49ers in 1994, where he won another Super Bowl (XXIX) before retiring.
After football
Mann helped found the Good Samaritan Foundation with his Washington teammates Art Monk, Tim Johnson and Earnest Byner.[4][5] The foundation provides youth with the environment needed to equip them with the skills, training and resources necessary to compete successfully in society through the Student Training Opportunity Program (STOP). The program serves more than 50 high school students, four days a week during the school year and five days a week during the summer providing after-school programs, tutoring and mentoring.[4][5]
