    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.

    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn WASHInGTOn REDSKInS Team History With three Super Bowl championships, the Washington Redskins are one of the NFL’s most dominant teams of the past quarter century. But the organization’s glorious past dates back almost 60 years and includes five world championships overall and some of the most innovative people and ideas the game has ever known. From George Preston Marshall to Jack Kent Cooke, from Vince Lombardi to Joe Gibbs, from Sammy Baugh to John Riggins, plus the NFL’s first fight song, marching band and radio network, the Redskins can be proud of an impressive professional football legacy. George Preston Marshall was awarded the inactive Boston franchise in July 1932. He originally named the team “Braves” because it used Braves Field, home of the National League baseball team. When the team moved to Fenway Park in July 1933, the name was changed to Redskins. A bizarre situation occurred in 1936, when the Redskins won the NFL Eastern division championship but Marshall, unhappy with the fan support in Boston,moved the championship game against Green Bay to the Polo Grounds in New York. Their home field advantage taken away by their owner, the Redskins lost. Not surprisingly, the Redskins moved to Washington, D.C., for the 1937 season. Games were played in Griffith Stadium with the opener on September 16, 1937, being played under flood lights. That year,Marshall created an official marching band and fight song, both firsts in the National Football League. That season also saw the debut of “Slinging Sammy” Baugh, a quarterback from Texas Christian who literally changed the offensive posture of pro football with his forward passing in his 16-season career.

  • Ravens, Redskins Both Net Impressive NFL Draft Hauls
    Ravens, Redskins both net impressive NFL Draft hauls Posted by S On 05/01/2016 Both local NFL teams took a major step forward this past weekend by adding some intriguing young talent to their rosters. Let's take a look at the haul for each team. Baltimore Ravens 1 (6) Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame | Highlights 2 (42) (from Miami) Kamalei Correa, OLB, Boise State | Highlights 3 (70) Bronson Kaufusi, DE, BYU | Highlights 4 (104) Tavon Young, CB, Temple | Highlights 4 (107) (from Miami) Chris Moore, WR, Cincinnati | Highlights 4 (130) (from Denver) Alex Lewis, OT, Nebraska | Highlights 4 (132) Willie Henry, DT, Michigan | Highlights 4 (134) Kenneth Dixon, RB, Louisiana Tech | Highlights 5 (146) (from Jacksonville) Matt Judon, DE, Grand Valley State | Highlights 6 (182) Keenan Reynolds, RB/WR, Navy | Highlights 6 (209) Maurice Canady, CB, Virginia| Highlights Day 1: The Ravens got things started on Day 1 of the draft by selecting Notre Dame LT Ronnie Stanley with the 6th overall pick. Due to their struggles in the secondary last season, the Ravens attempted to trade up in the draft to select Florida State cornerback Jalen Ramsey, but did well to acquit themselves with the 6'6", 312-pound Stanley. Stanley's mammoth size belies his quickness, a trait that will come in handy when trying to fend off speedy edge rushers. And with incumbent LT Eugene Monroe in the fold, the Ravens will be able to take their time bringing Stanley along until he's truly ready to perform. Day 2: Baltimore's biggest move of the day was undoubtedly trading the 36th overall selection to Jacksonville--which the Jaguars used to select highly-regarded but injury-prone UCLA linebacker Myles Jack--in exchange for picks 42, 107 (4th round), and 146 (5th round).

OFFENSE: QB RYAN FITZPATRICK, ST. LOUIS RAMS • It was a debut St. Louis rookie quarterback RYAN FITZPATRICK will never forget. The seventh-round pick from Harvard saw his first NFL action on Sunday against the Houston Texans and turned in a historic performance, leading the Rams to a come-from-behind 33-27 overtime win. Trailing 24-3 in the third quarter, Fitzpatrick helped St. Louis storm back, completing 19 of 30 attempts for 310 yards and three touchdowns, finishing the day with a 117.4 passer rating. Overcoming the 21-point deficit en route to the win was the team’s biggest comeback since December 6, 1992, when the Rams earned a 31-27 win over Tampa Bay after trailing by 24 points. Fitzpatrick became just the fifth player in NFL history to pass for 300 yards in his NFL debut, joining OTTO GRAHAM (1950), ED RUBBERT (1987), MARK RYPIEN (1988) and PEYTON MANNING (1998).

  • 2019 Nfl Records and Milestones
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 1/2/20 http://www.twitter.com/NFL345 2019 NFL RECORDS AND MILESTONES New teams making the playoffs, terrific turnarounds, consistent teams excelling again, records falling and young players making their mark. The 2019 season had it all. Youth and success at the quarterback position highlighted the 2019 regular season as 208 games featured at least one starting quarterback under the age of 27, the most in a single season in NFL history. In total, quarterbacks under the age of 27 started 287 games and recorded 144 wins in those starts this season, both the highest single-season totals since 1970. Three quarterbacks under the age of 25 – Baltimore’s LAMAR JACKSON (2018 NFL Draft), Kansas City’s PATRICK MAHOMES (2017 NFL Draft) and Houston’s DESHAUN WATSON (2017 NFL Draft) – have led their respective teams to division titles in each of the past two seasons. Competitiveness was a constant theme throughout the regular season as 68 percent of games (174 of 256) were within one score (eight points) in the fourth quarter, tied for the fifth-most such games in a single season in NFL history, while 52.3 percent of games (134 of 256) were decided by eight-or-fewer points, also tied for the fifth-most such games in single season in league annals. Additionally, 57 games saw a team come back to win or tie after trailing in the fourth quarter. Week 17 came down to the wire, as two playoff spots and two divisions titles – the NFC East and NFC West – were decided on the final day of the season.
