Redskins defensive backs coach Torrian Gray admitted Thursday on “Redskins Nation” that he received some help in securing his new job this week, and it came from some of his former student-athletes.
Gray, who spent 10 years as a defensive backs coach at Virginia Tech, said Kyshoen Jarrett and Kendall Fuller, former Hokie defensive backs drafted by the Redskins in the last two years, put in a good word to head coach Jay Gruden and team President Bruce Allen on his behalf. And then Gray received a phone call.
“It was surreal a little bit, and ‘wow they reached out to me,’” Gray said.
