George Starke (born July 18, 1948 in New York, NY) is a former American football offensive lineman who played for the Washington Redskins in the National Football League.
A 1971 graduate of Columbia College in New York City, Starke led his team in receptions as a tight end in 1969.
He played professionally for the Washington Redskins from 1973-84 as an offensive lineman, helping them win Super Bowl XVII. He was named one of the 70 greatest players in Redskins history.[1]
The 6'5", 255-pound Starke was known by many as the "Head Hog" of "The Hogs," the Redskins' famed offensive line which also included Russ Grimm, Mark May, Joe Jacoby and Jeff Bostic.[2] The Hogs stayed together with a few other new additions nearly a decade after Starke's retirement in 1984.
