James Arthur "Art" Monk (born December 5, 1957 in White Plains, New York) is a former American football wide receiver who played in the National Football League. Nicknamed "Quiet Man" or simply "#81" for his humble and professional demeanor, he played collegiately at Syracuse University as a receiver and running back. The Washington Redskins drafted Monk in the first round of the 1980 NFL Draft and converted him to flanker, a position that he pioneered as a member of Coach Joe Gibbs' innovative offense.
