The Washington Redskins edge depth has had room for improvement all offseason. Behind presumed starters Ryan Kerrigan and Preston Smith, there is little security. Ryan Anderson is a complete unknown heading into his second year with the Redskins, and Pernell McPhee, for the high-quality veteran insurance he provides, has an injury history, and isn’t getting any younger.
There has been hope throughout the offseason that someone would step up and help the Redskins in that department. Recently, Pete Robertson has been getting recognition from coaches, but before training camp, a name that stood out as a possible sleeper was Alex McCalister.
