The Washington Redskins will head to training camp this year with quite a few new faces on the defensive line, highlighted by first-round pick Jonathan Allen along with veteran position coach Jim Tomsula.

CURRENT STATE OF THE UNIT:
With a focus on revamping the defensive side of the football, perhaps no position group on the entire roster experienced more change this offseason than the defensive line.

After deciding to not retain defensive line coach Robb Akey, the Redskins made a splash hire by bringing in Jim Tomsula to work under defensive coordinator Greg Manusky.
