Why David Amerson Has Everything to Prove in Washington Redskins' Training Camp

Once viewed as a potential cornerstone of the Washington Redskins' secondary, cornerback David Amerson will enter training camp knowing full well that his NFL livelihood is at stake.

What a difference a year makes, right?

This time a season ago, Amerson was a D.C. darling. The second-round pick recorded two interceptions and 10 passes defensed as a rookie.

On the heels of a strong offseason, he entered training camp in 2014 with aspirations to shadow opponents' top wideouts.

"I want to go out there and whoever shows up in front of me, play them or if they want me to follow somebody, go at him," Amerson said, per ESPN.
