When the Washington Redskins suffered many injuries to their linebacker corps last season, the team brought in some familiar faces to play roles. Among those replacement players was Zach Vigil. The former Miami Dolphin had been with the Redskins during the 2016 season for a couple of games, but he didn’t do much. Still, this familiarity scored him a chance to play late in the season. And in the opportunities he was granted, he shined.
Vigil started six games down the stretch for the Redskins and he was incredible. Considering that he hadn’t been with the team since the start of the season, Vigil played very well and was a great tackler.
