Nate Sudfeld trying to learn, but not disrupt as third-string quarterback

ASHBURN | Daunting math was undone for Nate Sudfeld by naivet and brotherly support.

Sure, he would have said when he was younger, he’ll make it to the NFL. Growing up in Modesto, California, Sudfeld didn’t grasp how rare it was for a high school athlete to become a professional one, nor did he much care. It wasn’t arrogance that made him think even before high school that he could play one day as a professional. He just figured, why not? Also, his brothers told him he could. That sufficed.

So, staying after practice to make more throws at Redskins Park on a day that feels like the sun is a hat, is ecstasy.
