Alvin Lynn Garrett (born October 1, 1956 in Mineral Wells, Texas) is a former American football wide receiver who played five seasons for the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins from 1980 to 1984. Before his NFL career, he played college football at Angelo State University.
Professional career
Garrett is best known for replacing injured starter Art Monk in the 1982 NFL playoffs. Although he only caught one pass during the regular season, he caught 13 passes for 231 yards and four touchdowns in Washington's three playoff games. Then in Washington's 27-17 win in Super Bowl XVII, he caught two passes for 13 yards and another touchdown. He also ripped off a 44-yard run on a reverse play during the third quarter, setting a field goal by kicker Mark Moseley. At the time, it was the longest run by a receiver in Super Bowl history.
His best season came in 1983 with the Redskins when he played in fifteen games, catching 25 receptions for 332 yards and one touchdown. He went on to catch a pass for 17 yards and gain 100 yards returning kickoffs in Super Bowl XVIII.
He finished his five season NFL career with 32 receptions for 412 yards and two touchdowns, 43 punt returns for 334 yards, and 50 kickoff returns for 1,013 yards in 55 games.
The Cosell incident
During the September 5, 1983 Monday Night Football game between the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys, Cosell referred to Garrett as a "little monkey," igniting a racial controversy that laid the groundwork for Cosell's departure from MNF at the end of that season. Cosell explained that Garrett's small stature, and not his race, was the basis for his comment, citing the fact that he had used the term to describe his grandchildren.
