RICHMOND — Chris Culliver saw a certain something in Bashaud Breeland during the offseason, when the two were frequently paired in practice as the Washington Redskins‘ top cornerbacks.
Culliver appreciated the drive, the spunk, the intensity demonstrated by Breeland, and he recognized that Breeland’s understanding of the game could make an impact on defense. He even figured that a year of experience in the NFL would only help to make Breeland into a measurably better player.
“[He’s] playing pretty good the whole offseason, and then something like this happens, it’s kind of hard,” Culliver said.
