A 1980 graduate of Clemson University , Bostic was named All - ACC in 1979 as an offensive lineman for the Tigers . He was also named to Clemson ’ s All - Centennial Team in 1996 , and inducted into the school ' s Hall of Fame in 1997 . In 1999 , he was placed in the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame . Washington Redskins center . Bostic was a member of the Washington Redskins from 1980 to 1993 , helping them win Super Bowl s XVII , XXII and XXVI and becoming the only Clemson player to play for three Super Bowl Championship teams . He was also named one of the 70 greatest players in Redskins history . Bostic was one of " The Hogs , " the Redskins ' famed offensive line which also included guards Russ Grimm and Mark May , tackles Joe Jacoby and George Starke , and a few other new additions over the years . In 1981 , in his second year , he replaced Bob Kuziel as the starting center for the Redskins in all 16 games . He continued in that position until his final year , 1993 , though missing important amounts of games because of injuries in 1984 , 1985 , 1987 , and 1992 . In 1982 , the strike - shortened season at 9 regular season games , the offensive line was potent throughout their 8 - 1 won - lost regular season , with Bostic at center , guards Russ Grimm and Mark May , and tackles Joe Jacoby and George Starke starting all 9 games . The same line prevailed in the playoffs , except that Fred Dean ( offensive lineman ) replaced May at right guard because of an injury in games 1 , 2 , and 4 . The team defeated in succession in the 1982 - 83 NFL playoffs the Detroit Lions , the Minnesota Vikings , the Dallas Cowboys , and the Miami Dolphins , rushing respectively for 175 , 204 , 137 , and 276 yards , with mainly John Riggins as the running back . The Redskins won Super Bowl XVII with Bostic and the interior line bowling over nose tackle Bob Baumhower and the two interior linebackers A . J . Duhe and Earnie Rhone . In 1983 , Washington won the eastern division of the NFC with a 14 - 2 won - lost record , thanks to the same offensive line , leading the NFL with 541 points scored ( 33 . 8 points / game ) . They beat the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round of the 1983 - 84 NFL playoffs and the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC championship game , passing for more yards than the previous year , but also with some more hefty running : 130 and 172 rushing yards , respectively , but they could not push off so easily the defensive line of the Oakland Raiders , losing Super Bowl XVIII . Although they won the eastern division of the NFC again in 1984 , they lost the divisional round of the 1984 - 85 NFL playoffs to the Chicago Bears . The Redskins became a force again in 1986 with a 12 - 4 record , winning a wild card game against the Los Angeles Rams and the divisional round of the 1986 - 87 NFL playoffs against the Chicago Bears with 138 and 134 rushing yards , respectively , but could neither pass ( 150 yards ) nor run ( 40 yards ) much against the New York Giants powerful defense , losing the NFC title game . The 1987 NFL season was another strike year and another Super Bowl win for the Redskins , with 15 games played instead of 16 and owners sending in replacement players . Bostic started only 5 games during the regular season . However , with guards Raleigh McKenzie ( replacing the injured Russ Grimm ) and R . C . Thielemann and with tackles Joe Jacoby and Mark May , he started every game of the 1987 - 88 NFL playoffs , where the Redskins had a modest 72 yards on the ground against the Chicago Bears in the divisional round , but demolished the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC title game and the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXI with 161 and a 280 yards on the ground , respectively . In the Super Bowl , Greg Kragen at nose tackle with Karl Mecklenburg and Ricky Hunley at interior linebackers could not match up , and especially could not handle the Redskins ' counter trey misdirection , where the left side of the line pulled on the opposite side . Washington returned to the playoffs in the 1990 season ( 1990 - 91 NFL playoffs ) . With an offensive line composed of Bostic , Raleigh McKenzie ( replacing the injured Russ Grimm again ) and Mark Schlereth at guards , Jim Lachey and Joe Jacoby at tackles , the Redskins beat the Philadelphia Eagles in a wild card game , with 93 rushing yards , but could not get by Joe Montana and the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round , gaining only 80 rushing yards , as the Redskins had to pass to try to catch up to the 49ers ' potent offense . In the 1991 regular season , with Bostic starting all 16 games , Washington finished with a record of 14 - 2 , leading the NFL with 485 points ( 30 . 3 points / game ) . In the 1991 - 92 NFL playoffs , with the same offensive line as the previous year , Washington beat successively the Atlanta Falcons , Detroit Lions , and Buffalo Bills with 162 , 117 , and 125 rushing yards , respectively , triumphant in Super Bowl XXVI , Bostic ' s last playoff game . The following year , Bostic , due to an injury , played in only 4 of 16 regular season games and was replaced by Raleigh McKenzie in the 1992 - 93 NFL playoffs , the Redskins beating the Minnesota Vikings with 196 rushing yards , but losing , as they did in 1990 , to the San Francisco 49ers . In 1993 , his last , Bostic played in only 10 games and the Redskins finished with an ugly 4 - 12 mark . He was replaced as the starting center in 1994 by John Gesek . Personal .
