Who is DeJuan Neal, the UDFA cornerback signed by the Redskins on Saturday?

On Saturday, the Redskins reportedly worked out QB Conner Cook, but decided instead to sign an undrafted Division II cornerback from Shepard University.

Neal (6-foot-even, 190 pounds) has had plenty of college-level experience. He appeared in 43 games over four years at Shepherd and logged 95 tackles, 17 pass defenses, and three interceptions during his career.

On tape, Neal shows that he is a willing tackler and demonstrates solid coverage abilities. He has nice leaping ability that helps him to high-point the ball despite his average frame, so that could help him make some plays if he gets time in the preseason.
