Relief followed excitement once the Washington Redskins selected University of Wyoming center Chase Roullier in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
Within minutes he was on the phone with local media sharing his initial reaction and began researching more about the franchise he had visited a couple weeks before being drafted. As an offensive lineman, however, Roullier already had a good sense of at least part of the team’s history.
Despite growing up in Minnesota, Roullier had heard about “The Hogs,” and how that group of offensive linemen had made the position exciting again, forming an ethos to emulate for those that succeeded them.
