The Redskins have had surprising play from some players this off-season, both good and bad. We all know that, come 31 August, finalizing the roster is a numbers game. More than 1,200 players league-wide will get their walking papers in the next week.
Players ‘on the bubble’ have to find a way to shine in camp and in preseason games, despite the fact that whatever they do comes with the caveat that it was done against the other team’s second & third string players, so somehow, it doesn’t seem to mean as much.
Still, certain players have been able to grab the attention of Jay Gruden and his staff from tryouts, to mini camp, to OTAs, to training camp by “making plays”.
