Daniel Padgett Sandifer (March 1, 1927 – August 15, 1987) was an American professional football player who was a defensive backfox six teams in the National Football League (NFL) from 1948 to 1953. He played college football for the LSU Tigers. Because of World War II, he was one of the few college players to play in two College All-Star Games. He currently holds the Washington Redskins team record for most interceptions in a season (13) set in his rookie year, 1948. This record has been surpassed only once in NFL history by Dick "Night Train" Lane with 14 in 1952 playing for the Los Angeles Rams. Sandifer also had interceptions in six consecutive games during his rookie year in 1948.
