The team’s 2020 draft class is as follows: ROUND (PICK) PLAYER SCHOOL 1 (2) DE Chase Young Ohio State 3 (66) RB Antonio Gibson Memphis 4 (108) T Saahdiq Charles LSU 4 (142) * WR Antonio Gandy-Golden Liberty 5 (156) 1 C Keith Ismael San Diego State 5 (162) 2 LB Khaleke Hudson Michigan 7 (216) S Kamren Curl Arkansas 7 (229) 3 DE James Smith Williams North Carolina State 1 From San Francisco 2 From Seattle 3 From Denver *Compensatory Pick NOTES ON THE REDSKINS’ OVERALL DRAFT • Dating back to 2011, the Redskins have now selected at least eight players in 10 consecutive drafts for the first time since the league adopted the seven-round format in 1994. • The Redskins completed the 2020 NFL Draft without making a selection in the second round. It is the 10th time since the seventh-round draft format was established the Redskins did not make a selection in the second round. • The Redskins acquired three of their selections via trades. They acquired the No. 156 selection from San Francisco in exchange for T Trent Williams. They acquired the No. 162 selection from Seattle in exchange for CB Quinton Dunbar and they acquired the No. 229 selection from Denver in the 2019 trade for QB Case Keenum. • The Redskins also acquired a 2021 third round pick from the San Francisco 49ers in the deal for T Trent Williams. • The Redskins have selected at least three players with picks acquired via trade in each of the last seven drafts. • Of the Redskins eight selections, three were made with picks acquired by trade, including one draft-day trade with San Francisco (C Keith Ismael). • The Redskins selected WR Anthony Gandy-Golden using a compensatory pick. This is the second year in a row that the Redskins had a compensatory selection. Last season the Redskins used compensatory selections on LB Cole Holcomb, WR Kelvin Harmon and DE Jordan Brailford. Prior to the 2019 compensatory picks they were the first selections using a compensatory pick since the organization drafted NT Chris Neild with a compensatory pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. • This is the second consecutive draft that the Redskins have picked four offensive players in a row (2020: RB Antonio Gibson, T Saahdiq Charles, WR Antonio Gandy-Golden and C Keith Ismael; 2019: WR Terry McLaurin, RB Bryce Love, G Wes Martin and C Ross Pierschbacher). Prior to that, the last time the Redskins selected four consecutive offensive players in the same draft was 2008 (WR Devin Thomas, TE Fred Davis, WR Malcolm Kelly and T Chad Rinehart). • It is the first time that the Redskins selected an edge rusher with their first pick since selecting Ryan Kerrigan No. 16 overall in 2011. • It was the first time since 2012 that the Redskins had a selection in the top 3 in the first round. • The Redskins drafted players from Ohio State with their first pick in consecutive seasons marking the third time in franchise history that the team has drafted players out of the same school with their first pick in back-to-back draft. The other two instances were DT Daron Payne (2018 Alabama) and DT Jonathan Allen (2017 Alabama), FB Leon Heath (1951 Oklahoma) and HB George Thomas (1950 Oklahoma), • The Redskins selected four defensive players and have now picked at least four defensive players in six consecutive drafts for the first time since 1989-93, when the draft consisted of 12 rounds. • Five of the 10 members of the Redskins’ draft class played at schools in “Power Five” conferences. • The Redskins selected two players from the Big Ten, two players from the Southeastern Conference and one player each from the Atlantic Coast Conference, American Athletic Conference and Mountain West Conference. NOTES ON THE SELECTION OF CHASE YOUNG • Young is the 485th selection made by the Redskins in the Common Draft era (since 1967) and the 32nd first- round selection in that time frame. He is the 63rd first-round selection by the Redskins all-time since the institution of the draft in 1936. • Young’s selection marks the fourth straight year in which the Redskins have selected a defensive player with a first-round pick in the draft joining Montez Sweat (No. 26 overall in 2019), Jonathan Allen (No. 17 overall in 2017) and Daron Payne (No. 13 overall in 2018). This is the first time in team history the Redskins selected defensive players with a first-round pick selection in four consecutive drafts. • Young is the 11th defensive player selected by the Redskins in the first round since 1999, joining CB Champ Bailey (1999), LB LaVar Arrington (2000), S Sean Taylor (2004), CB Carlos Rogers (2005), S LaRon Landry (2007), DE/LB Brian Orakpo (2009), LB Ryan Kerrigan (2011), DL Jonathan Allen (2017), DT Daron Payne (2018) and DE Montez Sweat (2019). Seven of the 10 defensive players selected by the Redskins in the first round in that time frame have earned at least one Pro Bowl selection during their career. • Young’s selection marks the eighth time in the Common Draft era that the Redskins have selected a defensive lineman in the first round, joining Montez Sweat (2019), Daron Payne (2018), Jonathan Allen (2017), Ryan Kerrigan (2011), Brian Orakpo (2009, transitioned to linebacker in 2010), Kenard Lang (1997) and Bobby Wilson (1991). The Redskins also selected Tracy Rocker (1989, third round), Markus Koch (1986, second round), Bob Slater (1984, second round), Duncan McColl (1977, fourth round) and Bill Brundige (1970, second round) with the team’s first selections of each of the drafts listed. • With the selections of Young, Sweat, Payne and Allen, the Redskins have now used first-round selections on defensive linemen in four consecutive drafts for the first time in the Common Draft era. • Young is the 19th Ohio State product selected by the Redskins all-time, joining C Steve Andrako (1940), E Cy Souders (1945), B Vic Janowicz (1952), T Julius Wittman (1952), G George Rosso (1954), T Fran Machinsky (1956), T George Tolford (1961), G Mike Ingram (1961), B Dave Francis (1963), G Rod Foster (1963), FB Tom Barrington (1966), E Ron Sepic (1967), RB Rich Galbos (1973), T Henry Brown (1988), G Tim Moxley (1990), WR Evan Spencer (2015), QB Dwayne Haskins Jr. (2019) and WR Terry McLaurin (2019). • Young’s selection marks the third time the franchise has drafted a player with the No. 2 overall pick in the Common Draft Era. The other two selections were LaVar Arrington (2000) and Robert Griffin III (2012). • Young is the 19th player the Redskins have selected out of Ohio State. Ohio State has now produced the sixth-most draft selections in Redskins history, trailing only Notre Dame (34), USC (30), Alabama (26), Penn State (22) and Nebraska (20). • In 2019, Young ranked No. 1 in the nation in tackles for loss per game (1.91), No. 1 in sacks (16.5) and sacks per game (1.50), No. 2 in forced fumbles (six) and No. 4 in total tackles for loss (21.0). • Young joined Mike Vrabel as the only player in Ohio State history to post consecutive seasons with 10-plus sacks. • Young was named the Big Ten’s Nagurski-Woodson Defensive Player of the Year, Smith-Brown Defensive Lineman of the Year and first-team All-Big Ten last season. • Young holds the Ohio State single-season sack record with 16.5 in 2019. • Young is No. 2 in school history in total sacks (30.5), trailing Mike Vrabel (36.0). Young played in only three seasons compared to Vrabel’s four. NOTES ON THE SELECTION OF ANTONIO GIBSON • Gibson is the 486th selection made by the Redskins in the Common Draft era (since 1967) and the 37th third- round selection in that time frame. He is the 67th third-round selection by the Redskins all-time since the institution of the draft in 1936. • Gibson becomes the first offensive player to be selected by the Redskins in the 2020 NFL Draft. • Gibson is the fifth player drafted by the Redskins from the University of Memphis, joining RB Richard Williams (1983), DE Carl Taylor (1975), RB Danny Pierce (1970) and DT Will Renfroe (1954) • Dating back to 2011, the Redskins have now selected a running back in 10 consecutive drafts, passing the team’s previous high of drafting a running back in nine consecutive drafts from 1983-91. • Gibson is the fourth player in franchise history selected with the No. 66 pick, joining T Morgan Moses (2014), DT Tracy Rocker (1989) and RB Mike Oliphant (1988). • Gibson becomes the third running back produced by Memphis selected by the Redskins in franchise history joining Richard Williams (1983) and Danny Pierce (1970). He would be the first wide receiver selected from Memphis. • The selection of Gibson marks the second-highest draft pick from Memphis, trailing only RB Richard Williams (No. 56 in 1983). • Gibson was Memphis’ sixth winner of The American Athletic Conference’s Special Teams Player of the Year honor in the conference’s first seven seasons, joining punter Tom Hornsey (2013), kicker Jake Elliott (2014-15) and return specialist Tony Pollard (2016-17). • Gibson finished No. 5 in school history for all purpose yards in a single-season with 1,749 yards. Gibson did not record a fumble in his college career and he averaged 19.3 yards per reception.

  • Washington Head Coach Ron Rivera Postgame Quotes – December 13, 2020 San Francisco 49Ers Vs
    Washington Head Coach Ron Rivera Postgame Quotes – December 13, 2020 San Francisco 49ers vs. Washington Football Team Do you have any updates on QB Alex Smith? “Yes, what happened was Alex developed some tightness and muscle soreness as he was pushing off that right leg. As we ended the half, they took him in to get x-rays. The x-rays were fine. There was no issue there, but he had the soreness and it was tight. So we decided not to have him go back out there in the second half. We had them there in case of emergency, he stayed on the sideline, stayed loose and tried to loosen it up, but it just stayed tight. He couldn't get it loose. In an abundance of caution, we went with [QB] Dwayne [Haskins Jr.] in the second half.” What can you say about your defense and the performance they had in this game today? “It was pretty exciting. They did a lot of good things. They really stepped up and helped out. I know there's some issues that [Defensive Coordinator] Jack [Del Rio] is not happy with, but Jack's expecting an awful lot from those guys as we all are and those guys rose to the occasion.” Over the last few weeks you’ve talked about how DE Chase Young was staying patient when he was being double-teamed and triple teamed when he was held sackless. For him to have the performance he had after you’ve told him to not get frustrated and to wait for that moment.

  • 2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus
    2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus Director of College Scouting Steve Mathes _ @JudgeMathes Positional Outlook Quarterback Buffalo is not going to look to rock the boat by bringing in a legitimate threat to Josh Allen’s job, they believe in him as the franchise QB. Players Met With or “Linked-To” Likewise, they don’t appear to be looking to challenge Matt Barkley as a James Morgan - Florida International back-up either. He has a great relationship with Allen, isn’t threatening his job, and brings traits Allen doesn’t have like anticipatory throwing they hope will rub off on him. That leaves Davis Webb, the practice squad QB, as the only one at real risk of competition. The Bills met with Morgan, but this was before his stock significantly heated up. If the Bills decide to challenge Webb look for a UDFA QB to be the guy to do it. Running Back The Buffalo Bills have only two viable runners on their roster currently in Devin Singletary and TJ Yeldon. They will look to add a third to this tandem to replace Players Met With or “Linked-To” the departed Frank Gore. Cam Akers - Florida St. Gore was known as the “bruiser”. When he was on the field defenses tended to JK Dobbins - Ohio St. know what was coming. It appears from their list of potential targets the Bills Clyde Edwards-Hellaire - LSU are looking to buck that trend. Darrynton Evans - Appalachian St. Zack Moss - Utah On their list are mostly “All-Purpose Backs” and one guy who is all traits (SPEED) D’Andre Swift - Georgia in Darrynton Evans.

    July 28, 2019 Head Coach Jay Gruden On T Trent Williams: "…" On LT Donald Penn: "No, he’s not here right now. No update." On the day off of training camp tomorrow: "Yeah, it’s been a great four days. We’ve got to both of our installs, both offensively and defensively, and special teams, so having the day off is good. We’ll come back on Tuesday, have a nice review of some of the things we’ve hit on, and be able to add some more on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. I think it’s been a pretty successful start so far as implementing what we want to implement and getting a look at some guys." On the status of LB Reuben Foster's injury: "Yeah, he had a successful surgery. He’s wearing something for his foot a little bit, but he’s walking around great, great energy. He’s helping out in drills here and there, sitting in meetings. He’s still a big part of this football team. He’s just going to have to rehab, and it’s going to be a long road for him, but he’s the type of guy that will put the work in." On the benefit of a satellite training camp in Richmond: "None, really. It’s just practice and meetings no matter where you do it— on a parking lot, on a field, in Richmond, back home, in California— wherever you want to do it. You still have to go through training camp and really hone in on football.
