One of head coach Jay Gruden’s biggest areas of concern on a football team is the center position. After the Redskins drafted Chase Roullier, a guard and converted center from Wyoming last offseason, he pushed this theory again, explaining his excitement for having more depth at a position often unheralded and underrated.
Now with the 2017 season complete, the Redskins’ decision to draft Roullier at the end of the sixth round looks like a particularly shrewd move. The team’s starting center, , the player Roullier would learn under and maybe replace in the next couple of years, injured his quad during the sixth game of the year.
