Redskins sign J.D. McKissic to serve as third-down back

So far through free agency, the Washington Redskins have picked up many role players for their squad. From linebackers Kevin Pierre-Louis and Thomas Davis to offensive lineman Wes Schweitzer, the team has added depth at some of their most problematic positions.

And the team continued to do that on Wednesday night.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Redskins are adding a new running back to the mix. That player is J.D. McKissic, who played for the Detroit Lions last season.

McKissic entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Arkansas State.
