Moreau expected to contribute more for Redskins in 2018

ASHBURN — Redskins cornerback Fabian Moreau spent his rookie season buried in the depth chart, taking just 59 defensive snaps in 2017.

A third-round pick out of UCLA, Moreau’s impact on game days came primarily on special teams.

But behind the scenes, the 24-year-old was still learning the position. Not only did Moreau have to get used to the NFL, the Redskins approached him about playing inside corner — a spot Moreau never played in college or high school.

“It’s a whole different ball game inside,” Moreau said.

The Redskins, however, want Moreau to be flexible.
