Redskins cornerback Kendall Fuller couldn’t exactly put into words the way he felt when Torrian Gray was hired as the team’s new defensive backs coach.
Gray had been Fuller’s position coach at Virginia Tech during the cornerback’s three seasons (he began his tenure there in 2006) with the Hokies and was fundamental in helping him excel into an NFL-ready prospect. To reunite in Washington was a dream come true, and just a little part of Fuller’s plan.
The two chatted on the phone earlier this winter and Gray, who spent last season coaching at the University of Florida, had briefly mentioned his desire to join the NFL ranks.
