ASHBURN — Unsure what the boss needed to talk about, Tress Way’s heart started racing Tuesday when Redskins interim coach Bill Callahan called out of the blue.
The Redskins punter had nothing to worry about. Callahan told the 29-year-old the news — Way had not only made the Pro Bowl, but he was named the starting punter for the NFC.
“I said, ‘Coach, thank you. If you don’t mind, I’m going to hang up because my wife is here and I’m going to start crying,” Way said.
Way and Redskins guard Brandon Scherff were named Pro Bowl starters, while safety Landon Collins and defensive tackle Matt Ioannidis are alternates.
