I recently posted an article asking fans to rank NFC East edge rushers, and while there was a lot of discussion about Ryan Kerrigan and Preston Smith, most of the other comments about the Redskins pass rush revolved around Junior Galette, who is no longer with the team. I realized that most people haven’t thought much about the man who took Junior’s spot on the Redskin defense: Pernell McPhee.
Let me start this introduction of Pernell McPhee by reprinting the free agency profile I prepared back in early March, just prior to free agency:
