Through the years there have been many former ‘Canes who were very successful playing for the Redskins. Specifically, players like Santana Moss, Clinton Portis, and the late Sean Taylor all come to mind. Even though neither Portis nor Moss were originally drafted by Washington, they are still a big part of the rich history that springs to mind when I think about the Miami to Washington pipeline.
However, the past decade has not been as kind to the Hurricanes, and, understandably, Washington has not drafted a single player from “The U” since Leonard Hankerson in 2011.
