Dexter Keith Manley, nicknamed the "Secretary of Defense"[1] (born February 2, 1959 in Houston, Texas) is a former American football defensive end in the National Football League for the Washington Redskins, Phoenix Cardinals, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in an eleven-year career from 1981 to 1991. He also played in the Canadian Football League for the Ottawa Rough Riders. Manley played college football at Oklahoma State University.

Professional career

NFL

Manley was drafted in the fifth round (119th overall) of the 1981 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins, where he played for nine seasons. During his career with the Redskins, Manley won two Super Bowl titles and was a Pro Bowler in 1986 when he recorded 18.5 sacks. He then played for the Phoenix Cardinals and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers; while with the Bucs, he often hung out with Tampa 1st round draft pick Keith McCants, who would later battle similar drugs problems [2] . In 1989, Manley failed his third drug test and was banned from the NFL for life, with an opportunity to apply for reinstatement after one year.[3] However, after he failed his fourth drug test, he was permanently banned from the National Football League for life on December 12, 1991. [4][1]

Officially, Manley had 97.5 quarterback sacks in his career. 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.[5] 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.[6]

CFL

Manley also played two seasons in the Canadian Football League with the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1992 and 1993 after being suspended (Manley was never actually banned) from the NFL. In 1995, Manley was convicted of cocaine possession and was sentenced to four years in prison, of which he served two. [7]


In 2002, he was selected as one of the 70 Greatest Redskins of All Time and is a member of the Washington Redskins Ring of Fame.

Surgery

Manley underwent 10½ hours of brain surgery June 21, 2006, to treat a Colloid cyst, and as expected, is experiencing minor, isolated memory loss. He first learned about the cyst in 1986, when after an all-night drug spree, he collapsed in a Georgetown department store. His prognosis is for a relatively full recovery, although doctors have said that memory loss is a common side effect of the operation. Manley lives in suburban Washington with his wife and family. [8]

U.S. Senate Subcommittee Hearing

In an article by Taylor Branch entitled "The Shame of College Sports", 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. [9]
