Redskins Interview Rob Ryan For Defensive Coordinator

The Washington Redskins on Monday announced that they have interviewed Rob Ryan for the team’s defensive coordinator position.

The interview is the third confirmed by the Redskins this week, as Mike Pettine and Gus Bradley have also spoke with Washington about the position.

Ryan, 54, began his NFL coaching career with the Arizona Cardinals in 1994, serving two seasons as the team’s defensive backs coach.

During his time with the Cardinals, Ryan helped Pro Football Hall of Famer Aeneas Williams earn his first two trips to the Pro Bowl.

In 1994, Williams led the NFL in interceptions with nine and was named a first-team All-Pro during the 1995 season.
