Before each practice, D.J. Swearinger huddles Washington Redskins players together and delivers his daily message.
Sure, Swearinger is a six-year veteran out of South Carolina, but this is his first season with Washington. Becoming a vocal leader just came naturally.
"It's just my personality," Swearinger said. "That's just my personality to get guys to buy in to do the right things so we can make winning a habit here.
"That's what I try to do with calling the defensive meetings or calling (a huddle) up before practice. Just trying to get everybody's minds on one focus and that's to go 1-0 every day.
