Washington Redskins select Penn State S Troy Apke in the fourth round

This safety is Penn State’s Troy Apke.

The Washington Redskins have been very proficient in the draft thus far, but this selection is certainly a head scratcher. Apke has the speed and the size; he stands at 6-foot-1, 198, and he ran a 4.
