The Washington Redskins made a signing early on Friday morning. No, it’s not Donald Penn, the offensive tackle that the team reportedly worked out and got many fans excited. Instead, it’s a depth player who should help out in the edge rusher and linebacker room during camp.
The player that the Redskins ended up signing was Myles Humphrey. He’s a linebacker who will likely play on the edge in the team’s 3-4 alignment and serve as roster depth.
Humphrey (6-2, 245 pounds) played his college football at Shepherd and was a star there. In his final season with the team in 2017, he logged 13 sacks — the fourth-best mark among Division II players — and was named the Mountain East Conference’s Defensive Player of the Year.
