22017 WASHINGTON REDSKINS GAME INFORMATION

GAME RELEASE

Formally organized in 1958, the Washington Redskins Alumni Association was the first organization of its kind in the country. The organization spearheaded the alumni movement among former professional football players and was the model for other alum-ni groups that later formed in all NFL cities. Now entering its 59th year, the Alumni Association continues to celebrate those who have contribut-ed to more than eight decades of Redskins foot-ball dating back to the team’s inception in 1932.

The primary objectives of the Redskins Alumni are promoting a continuing interest in current and past players of the Washington Redskins, as well as promoting and fostering interest and funding for charitable purposes. With respect to the latter, the alumni conduct fundraising events to raise money that can be donated to charitable organizations or used in other ways to help improve the quality of life for youth in the Greater Washington community.

Today, Redskins alumni continue to make their presence known throughout the community. As a very active chapter of the NFL Alumni Association, their motto is “Caring for Kids.” In addition to the numerous events and appearances Redskins Alumni partici-pate in throughout the year, they hold two major fundraising events of their own — the Redskins Alumni Charity Golf Classic, in its 39th year in 2017, and the annual Washington Redskins Welcome Home Luncheon, which will mark its 56th year in 2017.

The alumni have an office at Inova Sports Performance Center at Redskins Park and can be reached at 703-726-7488. Since his arrival in Washington in December of 2009, President Bruce Allen has made it a priority to build a bridge to the franchise’s historic past. During the Redskins’ NFC East title-winning season in 2012, that mission came to the forefront as the team celebrated its 80th anniversary.

“This year, the Washington Redskins will be celebrating our 80th anniversary season. I’m proud to be with the franchise in our na-tion’s capital, one with such a rich tradition and gloried past on and off the field,” Allen said in a July 2012 column filling in for Sports Illustrated’s Peter King. “The current Redskins players, coaches, fans and staff owe a big debt of gratitude to the people who have made the Redskins one of the flagship franchises in sports.”

Throughout the 2012 offseason, the Redskins traversed the Washington D.C./Maryland/Virginia area as part of the team’s ‘Thank You Tour,’ which brought players, coaches, alumni, cheer-leaders, team officials and more to fans throughout the entire re-gion to help celebrate the team’s historic heritage. The team will be celebrating its 85th anniversary in 2017, including the establish-ment of the “Hall of Fans” that will include a documentary film high-lighting the loyalty and passion of Redskins fans over the years.

On Wednesday, Aug. 30, the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation and Redskins Alumni Association will host the 56th annual Welcome Home Luncheon at the Hilton McLean in Tyson’s Corner. The annual event celebrates the burgundy and gold and kicks off each football season with Redskins players, coaches and alumni.

The Redskins Welcome Home Luncheon is typically the only annual event where fans and corporate partners have the chance to spend time with the entire Redskins team. Each table is usually guaranteed at least one player or coach seated with the attend-ees. Proceeds from the event benefit the youth programs of the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation and Redskins Alumni Association.

Last year, the Redskins used their 2016 event to honor their players for contributions both on and off the field. Quarterback Kirk Cousins earned 2015 Bobby Mitchell Offensive Player of the Year honors presented by STS International, defensive end Chris Baker earned 2015 Sam Huff Defensive Player of the Year honors present-

ors presented by MGM National Harbor. Other pre-sented awards included the Redskins Salute Award presented by Lockheed Martin for efforts with the military and the Redskins Community Man of the Year presented by WashingtonFirst Bank.

Also among the Redskins Alumni Associa-tion’s premier events is the team’s annual Alumni Homecoming celebration, which the Redskins hosted in Week 10 in 2016 against the Minnesota

Vikings. Not including staff and coaches, players in attendance during the weekend represented more

than 650 combined seasons of Redskins service, 110 combined Super Bowl appearances, 69 combined Super

Bowl titles, 34 members of the 80 Greatest Redskins, 23 Red-skins Ring of Famers and nine Pro Football Hall of Famers.

The Redskins used their 2016 Alumni Homecoming weekend to honor former General Manager Bobby Beathard with induction in the Ring of Fame. The honor was announced by President Bruce Al-len during training camp at the Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Center in Richmond.

Beathard’s illustrious career as an NFL executive included 11 seasons as General Manager of the Redskins from 1978-88. After taking the job on Feb. 24, 1978, Beathard guided the organization to three Super Bowl appearances, including victories in Super Bowls XVII and XXII. Many of the players he acquired remained on the ros-ter for the team’s Super Bowl XXVI victory as well.

In Beathard’s 11 seasons as General Manager, the Redskins av-eraged 9.5 wins a year. The team posted a regular season winning percentage of .625 (105-63) in that time frame, best in the NFC and second-best in the NFL. No team in that time frame posted a better postseason winning percentage than the Redskins, who went 11-3 in postseason play in his tenure for a winning percentage of .786.

“This is a wonderful occasion for us, and a real honor to be brought back here by Bruce and Dan,” Beathard said in August. “Of all the years I was in the NFL, this organization has been the most supportive and the most fun. I’ve never been with an organization who has done this much for the people in it at present and the peo-ple who were in it in the past.”

32017 WASHINGTON REDSKINS GAME INFORMATION

GAME RELEASE

OFFENSEThe Redskins’ offense will feature a familiar face in a new place,

as Matt Cavanaugh takes the reins of the unit as Offensive Coordi-nator after spending the 2015-16 seasons as the team’s quarter-backs coach. Cavanaugh will now direct an offense coming off of its most prolific season in team history, a year in which the Redskins averaged 403.4 yards per game (third-most in the NFL), becoming the first squad in franchise history to average 400 yards per game.

QUARTERBACKSWith Cavanaugh’s promotion, the Redskins’ signal callers will

now be led in their position meetings by Quarterbacks Coach Kevin O’Connell, who spent time with the Patriots, Lions, Jets, Dolphins and Chargers during his NFL playing career.

After another record-setting campaign in 2016, the quarterback spotlight will once again fall on Kirk Cousins, who helped guide the Redskins to back-to-back winning seasons in 2015-16 for the first time since 1996-97. Cousins earned his first career Pro Bowl selec-tion last season after finishing the year with single-season team records in attempts (606), completions (406) and passing yards (4,917) and matching his team record for 300-yard passing games (seven). Cousins’ 4,917 passing yards ranked third in the NFL and were the 15th-most in a season in NFL history, as he became the first Redskins quarterback to rank in the Top 3 in the NFL in passing yardage in a season since Jay Schroeder in 1986.

Veteran Colt McCoy is entering his fourth year with the Redskins in 2017. An eighth-year NFL veteran, McCoy’s claim to fame in Wash-ington may be his first start with the team at Dallas in 2014, when he completed 25-of-30 passes for 299 yards and added a rushing touchdown in a thrilling overtime win on Monday Night Football.

Second-year quarterback Nate Sudfeld is entering his second NFL season in 2017 after the Redskins selected the 6-foot-6 In-diana University product in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

RUNNING BACKSNow in his fourth season with the Redskins, Running Backs

Coach Randy Jordan will oversee a group that features a stable of punishing, young runners and one of the league’s top third-down backs.

One year ago, Rob Kelley was a longshot college free agent hop-ing to make an NFL roster after rushing for just more than 1,000 yards during his career as a running back and fullback at Tulane. Now, the man known lovingly as “Fat Rob” returns for his second NFL season in 2017 as the Redskins’ incumbent at running back. Kelley finished his rookie season as the Redskins’ leader in rushing attempts (168), rushing yards (704) and rushing touchdowns (six). His tough running style helped him finish fourth in the NFL in yards

POSITIONAL PROSPECTUS

after contact per rush (2.75) among qualified players. The Redskins imported another battering ram at running back

in the 2017 NFL Draft, adding Oklahoma’s Samaje Perine in the fourth round. Perine finished his college career as the illustrious program’s all-time leading rusher (4,122 yards) despite turning pro after just three seasons and splitting time with a fellow 2017 early-round selection (Cincinnati’s Joe Mixon).

The styles of Kelley and Perine are complemented by the vet-eran of the group, 26-year-old Chris Thompson. Thompson played a career-high 16 games in 2016 and finished the season with 356 rushing yards on 68 carries, 49 receptions for 349 receiving yards, and five total touchdowns, all career highs. He became the first member of the Redskins to record at least 325 rushing yards and 325 receiving yards in a single season since Roy Helu Jr. in 2011, and he was one of only two players in the NFL to record at least 60 carries, 40 receptions and 15 kickoff returns in 2016 (Green Bay’s Ty Montgomery). “When you’re talking about third downs, that’s the most important down in football,” Head Coach Jay Gruden said this offseason. There’s nobody better as a third-down back in my opin-ion than Chris.”

The group also includes third-year pro Matt Jones, a former third-round pick who compiled 950 yards and six rushing touch-downs on 243 carries in 20 games across his first two NFL sea-sons, as well as Mack Brown, one of the locker room’s most popular players whose oft-cited work ethic and potential were on display during a 61-yard touchdown run late in a Week 16 victory against the Chicago Bears last season. Kenny HIlliard, an LSU product and a 2015 seventh-round pick of the Houston Texans, joined the Red-skins in training camp.

WIDE RECEIVERS

There aren’t many new faces on the Redskins’ offense, which re-turns nine of its 11 primary starters from its explosive 2016 unit, but Wide Receivers Coach Ike Hilliard will be tasked with integrating a bevy of exciting new and returning weapons following the depar-tures of DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garçon this offseason.

The Redskins made a splash in the first 24 hours of free agency, securing the services of 6-foot-4 quarterback-turned-receiver Ter-relle Pryor Sr. In his first full year at the position last year, Pryor appeared in a career-high 16 games with the Cleveland Browns, leading the team in receptions (77), receiving yards (1,007) and re-ceiving touchdowns (four) despite catching passes from five differ-ent quarterbacks.

Pryor’s towering stature is expected to be complemented by the athletic prowess of Josh Doctson, the 2016 first-round pick who missed all but two games of his rookie campaign while fighting nag-ging Achilles injuries. During his college career, the high-flying red zone target developed from a walk-on transfer from Wyoming to TCU’s record-holder in receiving yards (2,785) and receiving touch-downs (29).

42017 WASHINGTON REDSKINS GAME INFORMATION

GAME RELEASE

Though smaller in stature, perhaps no Redskins receiver is a bigger threat than 5-foot-9 Jamison Crowder, who has rapidly be-come one of the league’s most dangerous slot receivers since being selected in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Despite being the 14th receiver selected in that draft, Crowder’s 126 career recep-tions are the third-most of any player selected that year. His 2016 production represented career highs in receptions (67), receiving yards (847) and receiving touchdowns (seven).

Ryan Grant, a technician oft-praised by Head Coach Jay Gruden for the precision of his routes, returns for his fourth NFL season. The team also signed Brian Quick, a 2012 second-round pick, who spent his first five NFL seasons with the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams.

Hopes are high for second-year pro Maurice Harris, a 2016 col-lege free agent from Cal whose reliable hands helped him earn his way onto the active roster a season ago. The same can be said for 2017 sixth-round pick Robert Davis, who caught only 11 passes as a senior in an option-based attack in high school but finished his college career as Georgia State’s career leader in receptions (222) and receiving yards (3,391), becoming the first three-time all-con-ference selection in school annals.

The receiving corps also includes a number of other promising young players, including practice squad returnee Matt Hazel as well as college free agents Levern Jacobs (Maryland), Zach Pascal (Old Dominion), James Quick (Louisville) and Jamari Staples (Louis-ville).

TIGHT ENDWes Phillips assumed control of the Redskins’ tight ends in 2014

and has helped preside over the rapid ascent of one of the game’s top young stars and the development of strong organizational depth at the position.

Voters finally recognized Jordan Reed as one of the NFL’s top tight ends in 2016, naming the now-fifth-year pro to his first ca-reer Pro Bowl selection. Despite battling injuries early in his career, Reed is the fastest tight end in NFL history to reach 200 career receptions, reaching the milestone last season in his 38th career

game, surpassing the mark set by Pro Football Hall of Famer Kel-len Winslow (39 career games). His 5.9 receptions per game in the last two seasons are most by any NFL tight end since 2015, and his 17 touchdowns in that span are only one shy of the NFL lead (Tyler Eifert, 18).

The Redskins enjoyed a bit of a career renaissance from veteran tight end Vernon Davis in 2016. In his first season with the team, the D.C. native contributed 44 receptions for 583 yards with two touchdowns. He enters the 2017 campaign ranked eighth all-time in career receiving touchdowns by a tight end (57).

Niles Paul, the Redskins’ reigning Ed Block Courage Award win-ner, entered training camp in 2015 as the team’s starting tight end, but the heart-and-soul member of the special teams unit and a blossoming contributor on offense missed all of the 2015 season with an ankle injury and half of the 2016 season with a torn labrum. Derek Carrier now enters his third season with the Redskins after joining the team via trade from San Francisco in the 2015 preseason. The group also features 2017 fifth-round pick Jeremy Sprinkle out of Arkansas, training camp signing E.J. Bibbs, and Manasseh Gar-ner, who signed with the team after a minicamp tryout in May.

OFFENSIVE LINEPrior to the 2015 season, the Redskins announced venerable

coach Bill Callahan as their new offensive line coach. This past off-season, the team added Assistant Head Coach to Callahan’s title after a two-year run in which the Redskins allowed 50 total sacks across the 2015-16 seasons after allowing 58 sacks in the 2014 season alone.

The unit features one of the game’s elite left tackles in five-time Pro Bowler Trent Williams, who was named by his peers as the 47th-best player in the entire league this offseason. Strong left tackle play has been a hallmark of the Redskins since the turn of the century, as between Williams (2012-16) and Redskins legend Chris Samuels (2001-02, 05-08), Redskins left tackles have earned 11 Pro Bowl invites since 2000 and nine in the last 12 seasons.

Williams’ dominance at left tackle has earned league-wide ac-claim, but the rapid development of the right side of the Redskins’ offensive line has been a major storyline in the past few seasons. The Redskins selected Brandon Scherff with the No. 5 overall pick in 2015 anticipating he would play right tackle, but the atmospheric ascension of 2014 third-round pick Morgan Moses at right tackle allowed Scherff to slide to right guard. Scherff’s dominance led to his first career Pro Bowl selection in 2016, and Moses’ development into one of the game’s top right tackles led to a multi-year contract extension with the Redskins this offseason.

Fourth-year pro Spencer Long, who once considered going to med school if a career in football didn’t pan out, is a former Aca-demic All-American who has long been praised for his smarts, and the 2016 season proved why. Long made a largely seamless transi-tion from guard to center after a rash of injuries struck the Red-skins’ offensive line early in 2016, and the Nebraska product is now

GAME RELEASE

the team’s incumbent at the position. Shawn Lauvao returned from a season-ending ankle injury suf-

fered in Week 3 of the 2015 season to help the Redskins’ to their record-setting offensive production in 2016. Third-year guard Arie Kouandjio continues to push for playing time, as the 2015 fourth-round pick out of Alabama started two games a season ago.

A journeyman whose career includes stints with the Corpus Christi Sharks, Dallas Vigilantes, Philadelphia Soul, San Antonio Tal-ons and others, tackle Ty Nsekhe has become one of football’s pre-eminent stories of dedication as well as a valued asset for the Red-skins. He played in all 16 games for Washington in 2016, including a four-game stint as starter at left tackle in which the team averaged 435 yards per game. Third-year pro Vinston Painter also saw action at tackle in relief for the Redskins last season.

The Redskins also have a number of first-year and rookie line-men attempting to make the roster, including first-year pros John Kling, Ronald Patrick and Isaiah Williams, 2017 sixth-round pick Chase Roullier (Wyoming), and college free agents Tyler Catalina (Georgia), Kyle Kalis (Michigan) and Kendall Pace (Columbia).

DEFENSEMuch like the offense, the Redskins’ defense will also welcome

a former position coach from 2016 into a coordinator role in 2017. Greg Manusky, who played for the Redskins from 1988-90, was promoted to Defensive Coordinator during the 2017 offseason after guiding the team’s outside linebackers in 2016.

DEFENSIVE LINEThe Redskins’ showed their commitment to trench play on the

offensive side of the ball with the hire of Bill Callahan in 2015, and this offseason, the Redskins hope they made a similar coup on the defensive side of the ball by welcoming Defensive Line Coach Jim Tomsula to the coaching staff. The venerable and colorful coach in-herits a unit that features a slew of new additions from free agency and the draft.

Thomas Wolfe famously wrote that you can’t go home again, but Wolfe wasn’t watching the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft when the Redskins selected Jonathan Allen. The University of Alabama product whom the Redskins chose with the No. 17 overall selection attended Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn, Va., five miles away from Redskins team headquarters. A unanimous first-team All-American selection, he earned the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award and Ted Hendricks Award last year in helping lead the Crimson Tide to a berth in the national championship game.

POSITIONAL PROSPECTUS (CONT.)

Additionally, the Redskins targeted defensive linemen in free agency this offseason, adding unrestricted free agents Terrell Mc-Clain and Stacy McGee. McClain made a career-high 15 starts with the Dallas Cowboys last season, posting career highs in tackles (40), solo tackles (21), sacks (2.5) and forced fumbles (two) while helping Dallas lead the league in rushing defense (83.5 yards al-lowed per game). McGee joins the Redskins from Oakland, where he was a veteran of 51 career games with 18 starts.

One of the Redskins’ first moves of 2016 was taking a futures contract flyer on 2009 first-round pick Ziggy Hood. Hood’s profes-sionalism, work ethic and versatility helped him earn a spot on the Redskins’ roster and start 14 of the 16 games in which he appeared for the team in 2016. He became a valued contributor on and off the field, eventually re-signing with the Redskins this offseason. The Redskins are hoping for a similar story from 2011 first-round pick Phil Taylor Sr., who joined the team in January.

A year ago, Anthony Lanier II was a raw yet athletic college free agent out of Alabama A&M, while Matt Ioannidis was a fifth-round pick out of Temple renowned for his toughness. Both will attempt to carve out larger roles in 2017 after contributing in spots as rookies in 2016.

In addition, the Redskins’ defensive line includes returning prac-tice squad members A.J. Francis and Joey Mbu, as well as college free agents Brandon Banks (Charlotte) and Ondre Pipkins (Texas Tech).

OUTSIDE LINEBACKERSWith Greg Manusky now overseeing the entire defense, the out-

side linebackers fall under the watch of Chad Grimm, who spent the last two seasons as the Redskins’ defensive quality control coach and is the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer and Redskins legend Russ Grimm.

Odds are that Grimm will have the benefit of counting on the Redskins’ current version of Mr. Reliable: Ryan Kerrigan. Kerrigan has not missed a game since being drafted in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft, becoming the first member of the Redskins to start all 16 games in each of the first six seasons of an NFL career since the adoption of the 16-game schedule in 1978. But Kerrigan’s im-pact hasn’t been limited to mere attendance, as the two-time Pro Bowler’s 58.5 career sacks rank third in team history.

Preston Smith, the team’s second-round selection in 2015, has recorded 12.5 sacks in two seasons and, with an 8.5-sack debut year, became the first member of the Redskins to lead all NFL rook-ies in sacks in a season since Brian Orakpo in 2009. Supplementing Smith is Junior Galette, who missed each of the last two seasons with separate Achilles injuries but recorded double-digit sacks in his last two healthy campaigns in New Orleans from 2013-14. Lyn-den Trail, who played in his first two NFL games in Weeks 16-17 last season, returns as well.

Among the new faces in the group is veteran special teams standout Chris Carter, whom the team added in unrestricted free agency in 2017. The team also used its second-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft on Alabama’s Ryan Anderson, who combined with first-round pick Jonathan Allen to account for more than a third of Alabama’s FBS-leading 54.0 sacks in 2016. First-year pro Ron Thompson Jr. joined the team in the second week of the preseason.

INSIDE LINEBACKERSThe inside linebackers are once again guided by long-time Red-

skins assistant Kirk Olivadotti, a veteran of 14 previous NFL sea-sons with Washington from 2000-10 and 2014-16. He is one of 11 members of the Redskins’ assistant coach honor roll, which recog-nizes coaches with at least 10 seasons of service as an assistant in Washington.

The Redskins won the NFC East in 2015 thanks in part to the odd couple of Will Compton and Mason Foster, whose instant off-field friendship has translated into on-field chemistry during the last two seasons. Compton has blossomed into a vocal and cerebral leader at Mike linebacker, growing from a college free agent prac-tice squad member in 2013 to a spot starter in 2014 to a full-time starter in 2015 to a defensive captain in 2016. Foster had the most

productive season of his career in 2016, making 123 total tackles.The group secured a Pro Bowl-caliber addition this offseason,

signing Zach Brown following a 2016 campaign in which he started all 16 games for the Buffalo Bills and led the AFC with 149 tackles (97 solo), second-most in the NFL. He also contributed 4.0 sacks, four passes defensed, two forced fumbles and an interception en route to earning his first career Pro Bowl selection. The unit also includes third-year linebacker Martrell Spaight, who returned from a season-ending Week 1 concussion as a rookie in 2015 to appear in 14 games with one start last season, as well as Zach Vigil, who joined the Redskins via waiver claim in Week 16 last year.

The Redskins selected ex-safety Josh Harvey-Clemons in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft with possible intent of devel-oping the 6-foot-4 Louisville product as a dime linebacker. Other young players in the group include first-year pro Pete Robertson, as well as Nico Marley (Tulane), a diminutive yet productive rookie minicamp tryout signee who is the grandson of reggae legend Bob Marley.

DEFENSIVE BACKSThe Redskins’ secondary deliberately focused on fundamentals

during the 2017 offseason program, and the man doing most of the teaching was newly hired Defensive Backs Coach Torrian Gray, who joined the Redskins in 2017 following a prodigious run of producing NFL defensive backs at Virginia Tech (2006-15) and Florida (2016).

Opposing offenses will once again hear from cornerback Josh Norman, who recorded three interceptions and a career-high 19 passes defensed in his debut season in Washington in 2016. He is expected line up again opposite fellow South Carolina native Bashaud Breeland, who has started 43 of 48 possible games for Washington since being selected in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

The Redskins have used third-round picks on cornerbacks in each of the last two drafts, adding Virginia Tech’s Kendall Fuller in 2016 and UCLA’s Fabian Moreau in 2017. Fuller rebounded from a knee injury suffered in college to appear in 13 games for Wash-ington in 2016. Moreau will hope for a similar story after fighting through a torn pectoral suffered during his pro day.

Two years ago, Quinton Dunbar reported to training camp as a college free agent wide receiver hoping to crack Washington’s 2015 roster. In the two years since, he has transitioned to cornerback and intercepted Eli Manning in key division wins against the Giants in both 2015 and 2016. Other corners on the roster include nickelback Dashaun Phillips, seventh-round pick Joshua Holsey (Auburn), training camp signing Jeremiah McKinnon and college free agent Tevin Homer (Florida Atlantic).

Perhaps no position group on the Redskins’ roster has a more variable mix of youth, experience, size and speed than the safeties.

POSITIONAL PROSPECTUS (CONT.)

The Redskins targeted D.J. Swearinger in free agency and inked the unrestricted free agent this offseason after he posted career highs in solo tackles (56), passes defensed (eight), tackles for loss (five), interceptions (three) and sacks (2.0) with the Arizona Cardi-nals last season. Among those potentially joining him in the defen-sive backfield is Su’a Cravens, the jack-of-all-trades weapon who is transitioning to safety full-time after spending his rookie season at dime linebacker.

Safeties DeAngelo Hall (age 33) and Will Blackmon (32) are the defense’s most-senior members, but bring 23 years of combined previous NFL experience to the secondary. Third-year pro Deshazor Everett has been one of the team’s top special teams contributors since 2015 and has continued to develop at safety, notching a key red zone interception in a win at Philadelphia last year.

Fourth-round pick Montae Nicholson (Michigan State), training camp signing Stefan McClure and college free agent Fish Smithson (Kansas) round out the safety corps.

SPECIAL TEAMSFor the fourth consecutive season, the Redskins’ special teams

are commanded by former Apache helicopter pilot and eight-year Army veteran Ben Kotwica.

Kicker Dustin Hopkins returns in 2017 following a record-break-ing season a year ago. Hopkins went 34-for-42 on field goals in 2016, breaking the team record of 33 field goals made by Mark Moseley during the 1983 season. He finished the season with a career-high 138 points, ranking fourth on the franchise’s single-season scoring list. Hopkins’ 84.3 percent career mark on field goals (59-of-70) ranks second in team history among players with at least 50 career attempts.

In the 2014 preseason, the Redskins gave punter Tress Way 10 days to make the roster after claiming him off waivers less than two weeks before final cuts. In the three seasons since, Way has aver-aged 46.4 yards per punt, the highest career average by any Red-skins punter with at least 100 career punts. Way — the brother of a minor league baseball player and the husband of an All-American softball player — also displayed his arm in 2016, converting a key fourth down on a 31-yard pass to Quinton Dunbar in a Week 3 road win against the New York Giants.

All kicking and punting units are expected to utilize the services of long snapper Nick Sundberg, now in his eighth season with the Redskins.

72017 WASHINGTON REDSKINS GAME INFORMATION

GAME RELEASE

Jay Gruden enters his fourth season with the Washington Red-skins in 2017 after being named the 29th head coach in franchise history on January 9, 2014.

Previously a decorated quarterback in the college and Arena Football League ranks and a successful NFL assistant, Gruden has showcased his offensive acumen honed from his diverse football background throughout his tenure with the Redskins.

In 2016, Gruden guided the Redskins to an 8-7-1 record, giving the franchise back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1996-97. The team was led by Gruden’s record-shattering offense, which posted team records in total net yards (6,545), net passing yards (4,758) and yards per play (6.40), ranking in the Top 3 in the NFL in all three categories.

Gruden’s offense — once called “easily one of the three or four best designed offenses in the NFL” by Andy Benoit of The MMQB — was more than just historically efficient and explosive that season. The distribution of the offensive contributions allowed eight Red-skins players (DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garçon, Jamison Crowder, Rob Kelley, Chris Thompson, Jordan Reed, Vernon Davis and Matt Jones) to finish the season with at least 500 yards from scrim-mage, tying the 2011 New Orleans Saints for the most in a single season in NFL history.

A year earlier, Gruden led the Redskins to an NFC East Champi-onship in 2015, posting a 9-7 record to complete the second “worst-to-first” turnaround in team history. Gruden became the sixth coach in team history to lead the Redskins to a playoff berth within the first two years at the helm, joining Ray Flaherty, Dutch Bergman, Dudley DeGroot, George Allen and Joe Gibbs.

Under Gruden’s guidance, the 2015 Redskins featured what was at the time the most prolific passing attack in franchise his-tory. Quarterback Kirk Cousins, named the starter in the middle of the preseason, set then-single-season team records for attempts (543), completions (379), passing yards (4,166) and 300-yard passing games (seven) while throwing 29 touchdown passes, in-cluding at least one in all 16 games. Cousins’ success coincided with the emergence of tight end Jordan Reed, who finished the season with 87 receptions for 952 yards (both team records for a tight end) with 11 receiving touchdowns.

Gruden assumed control of the Redskins in 2014 and guided the team through a campaign in which three different quarterbacks (Robert Griffin III, Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy) recorded victories as starters. He installed an offensive system that produced two Pro Bowlers in his first season (tackle Trent Williams and running back Alfred Morris).

Excluding interim coaches, Gruden, 46 at the time of his hiring, became the team’s youngest head coaching hire since hiring even-tual Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Gibbs at 40 years of age in 1981. He became the first Redskins head coach hired directly from an of-fensive coordinator role on another team since Norv Turner in 1994.

Before joining the Redskins, Gruden spent his previous three seasons as offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals. In his tenure in Cincinnati, the Bengals averaged 10 wins a season, making three consecutive playoff appearances and earning an AFC North championship in 2013. Members of the Bengals’ offense accounted for seven Pro Bowl selections in his three seasons in Cincinnati.

Gruden was tasked with the development of quarterback Andy Dalton, a 2011 second-round pick. In three seasons together, Gruden helped Dalton to a 30-18 regular season record as a starter (.625), as Dalton’s 30 wins in that time frame ranked tied for fifth-most among NFL quarterbacks. Dalton’s 80 passing touchdowns ranked third-most in NFL history for a quarterback in his first three sea-sons, trailing only Dan Marino (98) and Peyton Manning (85).

HEAD COACH JAY GRUDEN

Prior to joining the Bengals, Gruden served two years with the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League from 2009-10. In 2009, Gruden served as offensive coordinator as the Tuskers com-piled a 6-0 regular season record and earned a UFL champion-ship game berth. In 2010, he assumed the roles of head coach and general manager and led the Tuskers to their second consecutive championship game appearance.

Gruden coached for seven seasons (2002-08) with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, earning a Super Bowl championship ring as an of-fensive assistant in 2002. There he worked under his brother, Jon (then the Bucs’ head coach), and current Redskins President Bruce Allen (the Bucs’ general manager from 2004-08). Gruden helped guide the Buccaneers to the team’s first championship, a 48-21 vic-tory in Super Bowl XXXVII.

Gruden also ranks among the most outstanding players and coaches in the history of the Arena Football League, having won six combined league championships – four as a quarterback and two as a head coach. Gruden played quarterback (2002-03) and served as head coach (2004-08) of the AFL’s Orlando Predators while simultaneously working as an offensive assistant with the Buccaneers. In all, Gruden served as head coach of the Predators for nine seasons (1998-2001 and 2004-08), leading the Predators to four championship game appearances and two league titles as a coach. During a two-year hiatus from coaching the Predators in 2002-03, he returned to the playing field as Orlando’s quarterback, leading the Predators to playoff appearances in both seasons.

In his eight seasons as a player in the AFL, Gruden completed 1,673-of-2,775 passes (60.3 percent) for 21,578 yards with 398 touchdowns and 99 interceptions. In addition to his time with Or-lando, he spent six seasons (1991-96) at quarterback for the Tampa Bay Storm, winning four AFL titles and being named MVP of Aren-aBowl VII in 1993. He was also named the 1992 AFL Most Valuable Player and was honored with induction into the AFL Hall of Fame in 1999.

Gruden played quarterback for four seasons for former Red-skins draft pick Howard Schnellenberger at the University of Louis-ville (1985-88) and was a two-time team MVP.

Gruden was born March 4, 1967, in Tiffin, Ohio. He and his wife, Sherry, have three sons — J.J., Joey and Jack — and a grandson, Trey.

GAME RELEASETHE OPPONENT

The Cincinnati Bengals enter the 2017 pre-season following a 6-9-1 campaign in 2016

in which they finished third in the AFC North. This season will be the team’s 15th

under the purview of Head Coach Mar-vin Lewis.

Andy Dalton returns as the team’s incumbent at quarterback in his seventh

NFL season. The 2016 season marked his second 4,000-yard campaign, as he completed 364-of-563 passes (64.7 percent) for 4,206 yards with 18 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

Dalton has started all 16 regular season games for the Bengals in five of the last six seasons and has started 93 career games.

Running back Jeremy Hill led the Bengals in rushing a year ago, posting 839 rushing yards on 222 carries including nine touch-downs. Running backs Rex Burkhead, now with the New England Patriots, and Giovani Bernard contributed 344 and 337 rushing yards, respectively, and added two rushing touchdowns each.

Wide receiver A.J. Green posted team highs in receptions (66) and receiving yards (964) in 2016. Brandon LaFell led the Bengals with six touchdown receptions and added 862 yards and 64 recep-tions, while Tyler Boyd added 603 yards, 54 receptions and one touchdown reception.

Linebacker Karlos Dansby, now with the Arizona Cardinals, paced the Bengals with a team-high 114 total tackles (69 solo) in 2016. Defensive tackle Geno Atkins recorded a team-high nine sacks, and safety Shawn Williams led the Bengals with three inter-ceptions.

Randy Bullock enters the 2017 preseason atop the Bengals’ depth chart at kicker. Bullock was 5-of-6 (83.3 percent) on field goal attempts in three games after being acquired by the Bengals in Week 14 last year. He is joined on the roster by rookie kicker Jake Elliott.

Alex Erickson served as the team’s primary kick and punt re-turner in 2016. He averaged 27.9 yards per return on 29 kickoff re-turns and 7.0 yards per return on 28 punt returns.

MARVIN LEWIS

Named the ninth head coach in Ben-gals history on Jan. 14, 2003, Marvin Lewis extends his Bengals-record head coaching tenure to 15 seasons in 2017.

Lewis opens the 2017 season with 118 career victories, the most in Bengals his-tory by a margin of 54 over Sam Wyche (64). Lewis’ record is 118-103-3 in the regular season and 118-110-3 including postseason play. The Bengals’ 58-36-2 record over the last six regular seasons gives the team a .615 winning percent-age for the span, ranked sixth in the NFL.

Lewis has led his teams to the post-season seven times, including a five-year run from 2011-15. The total number of playoff trips and the five-year streak of consecutive appearances are Bengals records, and the Bengals were one of only four NFL teams to reach the play-offs every year from 2011-15.

Entering 2017, Lewis ranks second among NFL head coaches in longest current tenure with one team, trailing only Bill Belichick, who is in his 18th straight season with New England. In the catego-ry of most seasons as head coach with one or more teams, Lewis ranks fourth among active coaches, behind Belichick (23rd season in ’17), Andy Reid (19) and John Fox (16).

Lewis was the consensus choice for NFL Coach of the Year in 2009, when the Bengals won the AFC North Division while sweep-ing all six division games. The Bengals also were AFC North cham-pions under Lewis in 2005, 2013 and 2015.

Five of Lewis’ former assistants have become NFL head coach-es, including four leading teams in 2017. The list, including their teams and head coaching tenures, includes former Bengals of-fensive coordinators Jay Gruden (Washington, 2014-17) and Hue Jackson (Cleveland, 2016-17), former defensive coordinators Leslie Frazier (Minnesota, 2010-13) and Mike Zimmer (Minnesota, 2014-17) and former defensive backs coach Vance Joseph (Denver, ’17).

Lewis joined the Bengals with credentials as a record-setting NFL defensive coordinator. His six seasons (1996-2001) as the Bal-timore Ravens’ defensive coordinator included a Super Bowl victory in 2000, when his defense set the NFL record for fewest points al-lowed in a 16-game campaign (165).

In 2002, the season before he joined the Bengals, Lewis led the Washington Redskins to a No. 5 NFL defensive ranking, serving as assistant head coach as well as defensive coordinator.

Lewis’ first NFL assignment was as linebackers coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1992-95. He aided the development of four Pro Bowl players — Kevin Greene, Chad Brown, Levon Kirkland and Greg Lloyd.

Lewis began his coaching career as linebackers coach at his alma mater Idaho State from 1981-84. He played linebacker at Ida-ho State, and also saw action at quarterback and free safety dur-ing his college career. He received his bachelor’s degree in physi-cal education from Idaho State in 1981, and earned his master’s in athletic administration in 1982. He was inducted into Idaho State’s Hall of Fame in 2001.

Lewis attended Fort Cherry H.S. in McDonald, Pa. (near Pitts-burgh), where he was an all-conference quarterback and safety. He also earned high school letters in wrestling and baseball. He and his wife, Peggy, have a daughter, Whitney, and a son, Marcus.

FROM SUPER BOWL MVP TO SENIOR VP

Doug Williams came full circle on June 13 when the Washington Redskins announced that Williams had been promoted to Senior Vice President of Player Personnel, another step in a journey that already includes some of the franchise’s most iconic moments.

Williams is a veteran of 20 NFL seasons, including nine as a play-er and 11 in scouting/personnel roles. A member of the 80 Greatest Redskins and a Redskins Ring of Famer, Williams played with the Redskins from 1986-89 and led Washington to a Super Bowl XXII title, a 42-10 rout of the Denver Broncos. Williams, the first African-American quarterback to play in a Super Bowl, completed 18-of-29 passes for 340 yards with four touchdown passes to earn Super Bowl XXII MVP honors.

“Standing here today, I’m a real humble individual, and I’m going to say something my college coach used to always say to me. He ‘had to be the luckiest man in the world,’ and that’s how I feel this morning to be in this position proudly,” Williams said following the announcement. “I’m humbled this morning, but it’s my job to lead the personnel department and we’re going to do that with all the continuity that we have back there.”

Williams, a first-round pick by Tampa Bay in the 1978 NFL Draft (No. 17 overall), led the Buccaneers to the first three playoff ap-pearances in team history. In 1986, the Redskins traded for Wil-liams’ rights following two seasons with the USFL’s Oklahoma Out-laws. In Williams’ Super Bowl XXII MVP performance following the 1987 season, he set or tied several Super Bowl passing records, including most TD passes (four), most yards passing (340), longest pass completion (80 yards) and longest TD pass (80 yards).

Williams joined the Buccaneers’ front office in 2004 following a successful tenure as head coach at his alma mater, Grambling State University, and one of the most storied playing careers in league and team history.

In six seasons during his first tenure (1998-2003) at Grambling State, Williams brought one of the most storied programs in college football history back to prominence, compiling a 52-18 record as head coach after succeeding the legendary Eddie Robinson, who was at the helm for 57 years from 1941-97 and re-wrote the record books as the winningest coach in the history of college football with 408 career wins.

Williams led the Tigers to three consecutive Southwestern Ath-letic Conference titles from 2000-02 as they were named National Black College Champions during the same three-year span. He was also named SWAC Coach of the Year in each of those three sea-sons. Williams was a two-time finalist for The Sports Network Ed-die Robinson (Division I-AA) National Coach of the Year. He rejoined the program for three seasons from 2011-13, including earning the SWAC title in his first season back in 2011.

Williams started his college head coaching career at Morehouse College in 1997. He also has previous NFL experience as a scout for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 1995 and as offensive coordinator for the Scottish Claymores of the World League in 1995 and tutoring running backs for Navy in 1994. Williams also excelled on the high school level as head coach and athletic director at Point Coupee H.S. in New Roads, La., in 1991. In 1993, he was head coach at Northeast H.S. in his hometown of Zachary, La., where he guided the team to a 13-1 record and the state semifinals, including a win over Peyton Manning’s Isidore Newman squad in the 1993 state quarterfinals.

As Grambling’s quarterback from 1974-77, Williams had a spec-tacular college career, passing for more than 8,000 yards and 93 touchdowns, leading the Tigers to three National Black College Na-tional Championships and two SWAC titles. He posted a 35-5 re-cord as a starter and finished fourth in voting for the 1977 Heisman Trophy.

In 2005, Williams and Shack Harris established The Shack Har-ris & Doug Williams Foundation with the function of providing grants for after-school initiatives, leadership development, mentoring pro-grams and minority higher education assistance for economically disadvantaged youth. In 2010, the foundation established the Black College Football Hall of Fame, which will move to its new home in Canton, Ohio in 2018.

152017 WASHINGTON REDSKINS GAME INFORMATION

GAME RELEASE

Redskins 27, Bengals 27

Associated PressOct. 30, 2016

LONDON -- The Washington Redskins and Cincinnati Bengals played to a 27-27 draw Sunday in London as the NFL got its second tied game in a season for the first time since 1997.

The sold-out crowd of 84,488 at Wembley Stadium left deflated and even puzzled as the regulation-time shootout between Kirk Cousins and Andy Dalton turned into an overtime comedy of errors.

“It definitely feels more like a loss than a win, because we moved the ball so well and had so many opportunities to win,” Cousins said.

Washington (4-3-1) appeared to have the game won with 2:13 left in overtime, but Dustin Hopkins hooked his 34-yard field goal attempt wide left.

Hopkins, whose first overtime attempt sailed smoothly through the uprights but was negated by a last-second Bengals timeout, ap-peared calm and unruffled in the locker room.

“It was slick out there, but that didn’t have an effect on any of my kicks,” said Hopkins, who also was badly short on a 55-yard attempt at the end of the first half.

The Redskins got the ball back with 1:11 remaining when Dalton fumbled at the Bengals 47 on a quarterback sneak. Cousins couldn’t connect downfield and tossed his final desperate pass tamely into the sideline to preserve the draw. Cincinnati is 3-4-1.

The unlikely result came one week after the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals tied 6-6 .

“Obviously not winning the game is disappointing,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. “We had opportunities on both sides of the ball to win it.”

Cousins finished with 38 completions for a season-high 458 yards on a team-record 56 attempts, with touchdowns to Jordan Reed and Jamison Crowder. He also threw an inconsequential inter-ception on a deep ball.

Dalton completed 27 of 42 for 284 yards and a touchdown to Tyler Eifert, who saw his first significant game action following off-season back surgery. Eifert made nine catches for 102 yards, while A.J. Green generated 121 yards on nine catches. Dalton also tossed a costly interception early in the fourth quarter with the Bengals driving deep into Washington territory.

THE 1997 TIES: Oddly, the last time the NFL had two ties in a season also happened in back-to-back weeks. In Weeks 12 and 13 of the 1997 season, Baltimore and Philadelphia tied 10-10, followed seven days later by Washington and the New York Giants’ 7-7 draw.

QUICK START: At first, it looked as if both teams might have for-gotten to pack their defenses.

Washington took its opening possession 80 yards on a 15-play drive capped by Robert Kelley’s juking 4-yard run. It was the first NFL rushing touchdown for Kelley, an undrafted rookie from Tulane starting in place of an injured Matt Jones.

Cincinnati immediately responded with a 66-yard kickoff return by Alex Erickson up the right sideline. Giovani Bernard took a draw 8 yards to the end zone to tie the score 7-7 with about four minutes still left in the opening quarter.

KICKING WOES: It wasn’t only Hopkins ruing his errors. The Ben-gals’ Mike Nugent had a chance to tie at 10, but his low-trajectory 51-yarder spun wide left. Nugent has often struggled from long range throughout his 12-year career. He has yet to convert a field goal beyond 47 yards this year, and fell to 0-for-3 from 50 yards or more.

Nugent then missed his first extra point of the season, wide left following the Bengals’ go-ahead drive of the second half.

LAST MEETING

“We missed a PAT, we missed a field goal, and those things eventually came back to hurt us,” Lewis said.

WATCH THOSE HANDS: Redskins’ star cornerback Josh Nor-man was called four times for illegal use of hands. It’s a shame for Washington that those hands weren’t as sticky to the ball.

Gordon dropped two great interception opportunities while jumping routes on short sideline throws to A.J. Green. The first hit him squarely in both hands on the Bengals 39 near the end of the first half, the second was in Redskins territory during the Bengals’ opening drive of the second half. A pick then would have stopped the Bengals from seizing the lead barely a minute later.

SEEING YELLOW: The game was marred by penalties, particular-ly by the Redskins. Washington was flagged 15 times for 106 yards, leading to eight Bengals first downs and damaging Washington’s overtime drives into Bengals turf. Cincinnati had seven penalties for 85 yards.

GAME RELEASE

TEAM DRAFT NOTES

» The Redskins made 10 selections for the second time in the past three drafts (10 in 2015). It marked the first time the team has made at least 10 selections twice in a three-year span since 1990 and 1992, when the draft contained 12 rounds.

» Dating back to 2011, the Redskins have selected at least sev-en players in seven consecutive drafts for the first time since the league adopted the seven-round format in 1994.

» The Redskins made seven selections on Day 3, marking the fourth time (nine in 2011, seven in 2012, seven in 2015) the team selected seven players on Day 3 of the draft since the NFL moved to the three-day format in 2010.

» The Redskins made one trade during the draft, sending the Nos. 201 and 220 overall selections to the Minnesota Vikings for the Nos. 199 and 230 overall selections.

» The Redskins selected five players with picks acquired via trade, including three selections with picks acquired during the 2016 NFL Draft (RB Samaje Perine, TE Jeremy Sprinkle and WR Robert Davis) and two acquired in Saturday’s trade with Minnesota (C Chase Roullier and LB Josh Harvey-Clemons).

» The Redskins have selected at least four players with picks acquired via trade in each of the last four drafts.

» The Redskins selected a defensive player in each of the first four rounds of the draft for the first time in the Common Draft era (since 1967).

» The Redskins selected six defensive players in total, the team’s most in a single draft since 2011 (six).

» The Redskins selected four defensive backs, the team’s most in a single draft since 1987 (Brian Davis, Steve Gage, Johnny Thom-as and Clarence Vaughn).

» By drafting defensive players with each of their first three se-lections, the Redskins did not make an offensive selection in the first 100 picks for the first time since 2009 and the fourth time since the turn of the century (2006, 2007, 2009).

» The Redskins made multiple selections in the fourth, sixth and seventh rounds. It marked the first time the team has selected mul-tiple players in three different rounds since 2012 (two each in the fourth, sixth and seventh rounds).

» The Redskins have now selected at least one pair of college teammates in four of the last seven drafts (Nebraska’s Roy Helu Jr., DeJon Gomes and Niles Paul in 2011; SMU’s Josh LeRibeus and Richard Crawford in 2012; Florida State’s Chris Thompson and Brandon Jenkins in 2013; Arkansas’ Martrell Spaight and Tevin Mitchel in 2015).

2017 DRAFT RECAP

» The 2017 draft marked the fifth time the Redskins have se-lected a pair of teammates out of Alabama (1941, 1948, 1951, 1962).

» All 10 of the Redskins’ draft picks played their collegiate ca-reers in the Football Bowl Subdivision, marking the fifth straight year the team’s entire draft class had played at the FBS level. The last Redskins draft pick to play in the Football Championship Subdi-vision was South Dakota’s Tom Compton (2012).

» The Redskins selected four players from the Southeastern Conference and one each from the Pac-12, Big 12, Big Ten, Mountain West, Sun Belt and Atlantic Coast Conferences. Ten of the Redskins’ 27 selections in the last three drafts (2015-17) have come from SEC schools.

DL JONATHAN ALLEN (RD. 1, NO. 17)

» Allen was the 456th selection made by the Redskins in the Common Draft era (since 1967) and the 28th first-round selection in that time frame. He was the 59th first-round selection by the Red-skins all-time since the institution of the draft in 1936.

» Allen’s selection snapped a two-year streak of the Redskins selecting an offensive player with their first selection in the NFL Draft (Brandon Scherff in 2015 and Josh Doctson in 2016). He was the first defensive player to be the first selection of the Redskins in a draft since the team chose Trent Murphy with their first selection (a second-round pick) of the 2014 NFL Draft.

» Allen was the first defensive player selected by the Redskins in the first round since the team drafted two-time Pro Bowl line-backer Ryan Kerrigan in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft.

» Allen’s selection marked the first time the Redskins have se-lected a defensive lineman with their first selection in a draft since 2009 when the team selected defensive-end-turned-linebacker Brian Orakpo in the first round. The last time the Redskins selected a player that remained along the defensive line with their first se-lection in a draft was in 1997, when the team selected DE Kenard Lang, coincidentally also with the No. 17 overall pick.

» Allen became the third Bronko Nagurski Award winner (award-ed annually by the Football Writers Association of America to the best defensive player in the nation) selected by the Redskins since the award’s inception in 1993, joining Orakpo (2009 NFL Draft) and Champ Bailey (1999 NFL Draft).

» Allen was the second Chuck Bednarik Award winner (awarded by the Maxwell Football Club to the best defensive player in Amer-ica) drafted by the Redskins all-time since the award’s inception in 1995, joining LB LaVar Arrington (2000 NFL Draft).

» Allen was the second Ted Hendricks Award winner (awarded by the Ted Hendricks Foundation to college football’s top defensive end) drafted by the Redskins since the award’s inception in 2002, joining Orakpo (2009 NFL Draft). (Note: 2013 Ted Hendricks Award winner Jackson Jeffcoat also spent part of the 2014-15 seasons with the Redskins after entering the league as an undrafted free agent with the Seattle Seahawks)

» Allen became the first Alabama product selected by the Red-skins in the first round since the team chose six-time Pro Bowl tack-le Chris Samuels with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2000 NFL Draft. Allen is now the fourth Alabama product selected by the Redskins in the first round all-time, joining Samuels, B Riley Smith (1936), B Harry Gilmer (1948) and B Lowell Tew (1948).

(21) for the third-most all-time draft selections from any single school in franchise history. The Crimson Tide now trail only Notre Dame (34) and USC (30) in Redskins draft history.

LB RYAN ANDERSON (RD. 2, NO. 49)

» Anderson was the 457th selection made by the Redskins in the Common Draft era (since 1967) and the 37th second-round se-lection in that time frame. He was the 55th second-round selection by the Redskins all-time since the institution of the draft in 1936.

» With Anderson’s selection, the Redskins have selected a de-fensive player with each of their last six second-round picks (DL Jarvis Jenkins, 2011; CB David Amerson, 2013; LB Trent Murphy, 2014; LB Preston Smith, 2015; S Su’a Cravens, 2016). It marked the team’s longest such streak in the Common Draft era.

» With Anderson’s selection, the Redskins have selected a line-backer in the second round in four consecutive drafts (Trent Mur-phy in 2014, Preston Smith in 2015, Su’a Cravens – who played pre-dominantly at linebacker as a rookie – in 2016).

» Including the selection of Alabama’s Jonathan Allen with the team’s first-round pick, the Redskins selected players from the same school with the first two selections of a draft since selecting Auburn’s Jason Campbell and Carlos Rogers with the team’s first two picks of the 2005 NFL Draft.

» By selecting Allen (10.5 sacks in 2016) and Anderson (9.0), the Redskins drafted players that accounted for more than a third of Al-abama’s Football Bowl Subdivision-leading 54.0 sacks last season.

» Anderson was the 23rd player from the University of Alabama selected by the Redskins all-time, joining B Riley Smith (1936), B Charley Holm (1939), E Sandy Sanford (1940), T Fred Davis (1941), G Ed Hickerson (1941), G Tony Leon (1943), B Bobby Jenkins (1945), T Fay Mills (1946), B Harry Gilmer (1948), B Lowell Tew (1948), T Dick Flowers (1949), E Ed White (1950), B Eddie Salem (1951), C El-liot Speed (1951), B Billy Hicks (1956), T Billy Neighbors (1962), E Tommy Brooker (1962), DB Steve Higginbotham (1972), DT Thomas Rayam (1990), T Chris Samuels (2000), G Arie Kouandjio (2015) and DL Jonathan Allen (2017).

» The Redskins selected members of the defensive front seven in each of the first two rounds of the draft for the first time since 2011 (LB Ryan Kerrigan and DL Jarvis Jenkins).

» Anderson was the fifth player selected by the Redskins with the No. 49 overall pick all-time, joining E Elmer Dohrmann (1938), B Walt Trojanowski (1946), T Bob Wetoska (1959) and DB Vernon Dean (1982).

CB FABIAN MOREAU (RD. 3, NO. 81)

» Moreau was the 458th selection made by the Redskins in the Common Draft era (since 1967) and the 34th third-round selection in that time frame. He was the 64th third-round selection by the Redskins all-time since the institution of the draft in 1936.

» With Moreau’s selection, the Redskins selected a defensive player with their first three picks of the draft for the first time since 2009 (DE/LB Brian Orakpo in the first round, CB Kevin Barnes in the third round and LB Cody Glenn in the fifth round). Prior to 2017, the last time the Redskins selected a defensive player in each of the first, second and third rounds was in 1997 when the team picked DE Kenard Lang, LB Greg Jones and LB Derek Smith, respectively.

» Moreau’s selection marked the second straight season in which the Redskins selected a defensive back with their third-round pick (Kendall Fuller, 2016).

2017 DRAFT RECAP (CONT.)

» Perine’s selection snapped a streak of three consecutive de-fensive selections by the Redskins to open the 2017 Draft. His se-lection with the No. 114 overall pick marks the latest the Redskins have selected their first offensive player in a draft since the 2009 NFL Draft when the Redskins first offensive selection came with the No. 221 overall pick (FB Eddie Williams).

» Perine was the first player from Oklahoma selected by the Redskins since the team drafted five-time Pro Bowl tackle Trent Williams with the fourth overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.

HISTORICALLY EFFICIENTThe Redskins finished the 2016 season tied for the fifth-fewest

total drives in the NFL with 175. However, the Redskins were able to capitalize with scores on 43.4 percent of their drives, the fifth-best mark in the NFL in 2016 and the franchise's best mark in records available dating back to 2000.

Washington's success in 2016 stemmed in part from its ability to stay in manageable down-and-distances. The Redskins ranked third in the NFL in success rate, a metric which defines success as gaining 40 percent of the yardage necessary for a first down on first down, 50 percent of the yardage necessary for a first down on second down or gains the first down on third or fourth down.

DIVISION PARITYParity has been a topic de jour in the National Football League

in recent years, and the league-wide trends provide the evidence. Each year since the 12-team playoff format was adopted in 1990, at least four teams have qualified for the playoffs after missing the postseason the year before.

No division has seen more turnover at the top in recent years than the NFC East, which is only division to have all four teams win at least one division title within the last six seasons.

FORCING FUMBLESEn route to practices in recent seasons, Redskins players

passed two tackling dummies. Each dummy had a football attached to its arm via velcro, and each day, members of the defensive staff commanded players to knock the balls loose before stepping onto the practice field.

The exercise was meant to instill and reinforce a mentality for forcing fumbles, and Washington’s performance in that category since 2015 appeared to support the process.

ICING THE PUNTERIn 2016, 41.3 percent of all drives in the NFL resulted in punts.

Meanwhile, Redskins punter Tress Way’s season was almost as no-table for his work as a passer (1-for-1, 31 yards) as it has for his work as a punter.

The Redskins punted only 49 times on 175 offensive posses-sions in 2016, boasting a 28.0 percent average, the second-lowest in the NFL.

RETURN OF THE RETURN GAMEThe Redskins received limited contributions from their punt re-

turn unit in 2015, averaging 4.8 yards per return, the second-fewest in the NFL. It marked the fifth consecutive season the team had ranked in the bottom half of the NFL in punt return average.

Redskins coaches remained steadfast behind returner Jamison Crowder entering 2016, and the results justified their faith. The Redskins ranked fourth in the NFL with an 11.9-yard team average on returns in 2016.

252017 WASHINGTON REDSKINS GAME INFORMATION

GAME RELEASE

Kirk Cousins repeatedly said he knew he had to prove himself in 2016. But for Cousins, having to prove himself was nothing new.

Cousins entered 2016 following a record-setting 2015 cam-paign. In his first full season as a starter, he set single-season team marks for attempts (543), completions (379), passing yards (4,166) and 300-yard passing games (seven) in leading the Redskins to an NFC East title. Cousins threw a touchdown pass in all 16 regular season games in 2015, becoming the first player in team history to throw a touchdown in all 16 games in a season since the adoption of the 16-game schedule in 1978.

The year was temporary vindication for Cousins, who did not even earn the starting role until Head Coach Jay Gruden said “It’s Kirk’s team” on Aug. 31 that year.

“He’s always in the meetings, he’s on time, he’s wanting to do extra work, he’s studying the film, he’s a gym rat, he’s a film rat. That’s just what you need to be a successful quarterback in this league,” Gruden said in training camp in 2016. “The great quarter-backs are that way in their first year and in their 15th year, that’s the way you have to be at the position, and he’s got the mental makeup to be a great one.”

The 2015 season was another opportunity for Cousins to prove himself in a football career defined by those moments. As a prep quarterback at Holland (Mich.) Christian H.S., he was lightly recruit-ed, fielding a small handful of late scholarship offers, primarily from MAC programs. When Michigan State showed late interest, Cousins mentions that he took his official visit to East Lansing hoping to re-cruit the coaching staff rather than have the coaching staff recruit him.

That lightly regarded recruit would go on to earn Michigan State’s starting role as a sophomore, beating out future NFL quar-terback Nick Foles in the process. He became only the second play-er in Spartan history to be named team captain as a sophomore en route to becoming a three-year captain for the program. He set records in virtually every passing category in school history while appearing in 45 games, starting 39 of his last 40 contests.

Cousins once again had to prove himself upon transitioning to the NFL level. He was the second quarterback selected by the Red-skins in the 2012 NFL Draft and entered the league having to com-pete with veteran Rex Grossman for backup duties. Cousins proved himself capable as a rookie that season in a couple of crucial situa-tions, including leading a game-tying drive in an eventual overtime win against the eventual Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens in Week 14 and winning his first career start in Cleveland a week later to keep the team alive for its eventual NFC East title that season.

In five seasons with the Redskins, Cousins has appeared in 46 games with 41 starts, completing 1,025-of-1,556 passes for 12,113 yards with 72 passing touchdowns. He ranks in the Top 10 in team history in completions, passing touchdowns and passing yardage. Cousins has also accrued 19 career 300-yard games (including 18 in the regular season), the most in franchise history.

So while some observers wait for Cousins to prove himself again, the quarterback has already garnered respect around the NFL.

“I don’t know what people are looking for. He threw for over 4,000 yards and over 25 touchdowns [in 2015]. The last six games of the season his quarterback rating was over 100,” Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin said prior to Week 1 in 2016. “He needs no endorsement from me.”

The widespread discussions about his contract status haven’t fazed Cousins, who has viewed his entire football career as a series of one-day opportunities.

“In this league it’s one year at a time – whether you’re on a long-term deal, one-year deal or two-year deal. I mean, I had a four-year deal as a rookie but it didn’t feel like a four-year deal, it felt like a one-day deal every single day I was here,” Cousins said during training camp. “So I don’t think things have changed a whole lot in that regard. I have got to go out there and prove myself each and every game of every season. When you do that, I think the rest will take care of itself.”

GAME RELEASE

In recent seasons, Redskins players have often extolled the abil-ity of tight end Jordan Reed to anyone who will listen.

After a career year in 2015 and another strong campaign in 2016, the entire NFL has now taken notice.

Reed earned his first career Pro Bowl selection in 2016, the first by a Redskins tight end since Chris Cooley in 2008. Reed joined Cooley (2007-08), Stephen Alexander (2000), Jean Fugett (1977) and Jerry Smith (1967 and 1969) as the only Redskins tight ends to earn Pro Bowl honors since the game’s inception in 1950.

Despite being limited by injury to only 12 games with eight starts in 2016, the ex-college-quarterback recorded 66 receptions for 686 yards with six receiving touchdowns. A year earlier, he com-piled arguably the greatest season by a tight end in franchise his-tory. During the 2015 regular season, Reed recorded 87 receptions for 952 yards (both team records for a tight end) with 11 receiving touchdowns, becoming the first tight end to lead the Redskins in all three categories since Fugett in 1977.

"He was a puppy when he came in here physically; now he’s fill-ing out and he’s a bigger guy. He’s playing with a ton of confidence," Head Coach Jay Gruden said in 2016. "We can move him around and do a lot of different things with him. He’s a smart player. He can see coverages, he can work off leverage of the defenders, he’s got big strong hands and he’s excellent after the catch. Really, the sky is the limit for Jordan. I have all of the confidence in the world that when the ball is thrown to him, he’s going to be in the right spot and make the catch. And he can beat a lot of people. He’s getting better and better, more and more confident and he’s blocking better, too. He’s a heck of a player, no doubt.”

In 46 career games with 22 starts for Washington, Reed has compiled 248 career receptions for 2,602 yards with 20 receiving touchdowns. In Week 4 of the 2016 season against Cleveland, Reed recorded his 200th career reception in his 38th career game, be-coming the fastest tight end to reach 200 career receptions in NFL history, surpassing Pro Football Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow.

While various injuries limited Reed to 9, 11, 14 and 12 games in each of his first four NFL seasons, Reed's per-game productivity ranks among the league's best. Reed ranks first among all NFL tight ends in receptions per game since entering the league in 2013.

“As I’ve said before and said every week, I don’t know anybody who can guard that young man. When he’s on, he’s on, and it’s tough to stop. He’s the best receiving tight end in the NFL, hands down.”- Five-time Pro Bowl tackle Trent Williams on Jordan Reed in 2015,

as told to Master Tesfatsion of The Washington Post

302017 WASHINGTON REDSKINS GAME INFORMATION

GAME RELEASE

Thirty-four wide receivers were drafted in the 2015 NFL Draft. Entering the 2017 season, 30 of them had appeared in NFL game action. Thirteen of those players were drafted ahead of the moment when the Washington Redskins selected Jamison Crowder with the No. 105 overall selection in the fourth round.

However, as of the conclusion of the 2016 season, only two of Crowder’s classmates (Oakland’s Amari Cooper and Minnesota’s Stefon Diggs) had recorded more career receptions than the Duke product who exploded onto the NFL radar with 126 receptions for 1,451 yards and nine receiving touchdowns in his first two seasons.

Crowder entered his rookie season in 2015 with expectations of assuming the team’s role at punt returner, but Crowder rapidly ex-ceeded those limits and earned the team’s top slot receiver role and became another weapon for the Redskins on third down.

“We had a penciled-in punt returner job for him, but for him to win the starting inside slot receiver is a testament to him and how quickly he picked it up and his production,” Head Coach Jay Gruden said. “When you draft guys, you have high hopes for them, but you never expect them to be this much of a factor this early, especially fourth-fifth rounders.”

“He’s one of those kids: You can put him in a phone booth and you probably wouldn’t get a hand on him.”- Receivers Coach Ike Hilliard to The Washington Post’s Liz Clarke

In Week 5 of his sophomore campaign in 2016, Crowder ended the Redskins’ 124-game punt return touchdown drought with an 85-yard touchdown at Baltimore. His punt return for touchdown was the Redskins’ first since Oct. 26, 2008, when Santana Moss returned a punt 80 yards for a touchdown at Detroit.

At 23 years and 114 days old, Crowder became the youngest member of the Redskins to return a punt for a touchdown since Brian Mitchell (23 years, 35 days) at Cincinnati on Sept. 22, 1991, according to records provided by Pro Football Reference.

Crowder finished the 2016 season with a 12.1-yard punt return average, the best by a member of the Redskins since 2001. His fourth-place ranking in the NFL in punt return average was the best by a member of the Redskins since Brian Mitchell’s second-place finish in 1995. The dual threat was the only player in the NFL in 2016 to catch at least 65 passes and average at least 11.0 yards per re-turn.

On offense, Crowder’s 126 receptions from 2015-16 were the second-most by a member of the Redskins in the first two years of an NFL career.

YARDS AFTER CONTACTUnder Head Coach Jay Gruden, the Redskins have prioritized

finding tough runners with the ability to power through tackles. The Redskins' 2016 rushing attack benefited from the powerful

styles of running backs Robert Kelley and Matt Jones. Kelley is a rookie free agent out of Tulane whom Gruden values for his abil-ity to fall forward and avoid negative plays, while Jones is a 2015 third-round pick notable for his 6-foot-2, 232-pound frame. Even the dimunitive yet deceptively tough Chris Thompson has contrib-uted after contact this season.

The group helped the Redskins rank among the league leaders in rushing yards after contact in 2016.

VERNON DAVISWashington, D.C. native Vernon Davis came home in free agen-

cy in 2016, and while the Redskins may not have known exactly what they were getting from the veteran addition, Davis delivered with 44 receptions for 583 yards with two touchdowns.

"I have been actually surprised at the impact he’s had on this football team both on and off the field," Gruden said. "He’s a great guy, he works hard, he’s good in the running game, he pays atten-tion in meetings. He’s obviously got the speed and skillset that you need at the tight end position. So I think he’s been just awesome as far as his contributions."

Davis now ranks in the Top 15 in NFL history in career recep-tions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns by a tight end.

322017 WASHINGTON REDSKINS GAME INFORMATION

GAME RELEASE

With a wrestling-inspired sack celebration, linebacker Ryan Kerrigan has earned the moniker "The Showstopper" since joining the Redskins in 2011. But while it might not have the same cachet, calling the two-time Pro Bowler "Mr. Reliable" might be just as apt.

If patience is a virtue, the Redskins were virtuous in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft, as the team opted to trade back from its No. 10 overall selection to the 16th overall pick. With the selec-tion, the Redskins selected Kerrigan, the then-defensive end out of Purdue.

Kerrigan has started all 96 regular season games played by the Redskins since he entered the league in 2011, trailing only Lawrence Timmons for the longest active streak of consecutive starts by any NFL linebacker. In 2016, Kerrigan became the first member of the Redskins to start all 16 games in each of the first six seasons of an NFL career since the adoption of the 16-game schedule in 1978.

The Muncie, Ind. native registered 8.5 sacks in each of the 2012-13 seasons after posting 7.5 in his rookie campaign in 2011 and ex-ploded in 2014 with a career-high 13.5 sacks. With an 11-sack sea-son in 2016, he became only the fifth player in NFL history to open a career with at least 7.5 sacks in each of his first six seasons, joining Jared Allen, Derrick Thomas, DeMarcus Ware and Reggie White. He also became only the fifth member of the Redskins to post multiple 10-sack seasons since 1982 (Dexter Manley, 4; Charles Mann, 4; Andre Carter, 2; Brian Orakpo, 2).

Kerrigan's productivity has provided a number of opportunities for him to showcase his co-opted celebration.

“Will Compton has been kind of getting in my ear for a while to do the Shawn Michaels from wrestling — the HBK,” Kerrigan said in 2014 of the inspiration for his celebrations. “All he kept saying was, ‘Hit the HBK, hit the HBK.’ Finally, I did right by him and hit the HBK a couple times. On the second and third ones, when I didn’t do it, he was giving me a bunch of hell on the sidelines, like, ‘Why didn’t you do it? You need to trademark it.’ I’m like, ‘Well, I can’t trademark it, it’s HBK,’ But that’s where it came from.”

The gesture resonated with wrestling fans and Redskins fans alike. The celebration was promoted by WWE on Twitter, and Red-skins fans immediately began referring to the celebration as the "Heartbreak Kerrigan," or #HBKerrigan in hashtag form.

Kerrigan is one of six players selected in the pass-rusher-rich 2011 NFL Draft to have already reached 45 career sacks. Houston’s J.J. Watt (76.0), Denver’s Von Miller (73.5), Kansas City’s Justin Houston (60.0), Kerrigan (58.5) , Los Angeles’ Robert Quinn (54.0) and Oakland’s Aldon Smith (47.5) have combined for 370.0 sacks since entering the league together in the 2011 NFL Draft.

The Purdue product ended his college career tied for the Football Bowl Subdivision record with 14 career forced fum-bles, and his innate knack for knocking the ball loose has translated to the NFL. Kerrigan has been credited with 19 forced fumbles in his career, the most by a member of the Redskins since 1994 and among the most by any NFL player since 2011.

Kerrigan’s impact on the Redskins has tran-scended football, as he was honored with the team’s Walter Payton Man of the Year award in 2015. In ad-dition to participating in numerous events through the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation, Kerrigan wel-comed 185 guests to the Grand Hyatt Washington in 2015 for his third Celebrity Waiter Night, raising more than $100,000 for his Blitz for the Better Foundation, which provides support to seriously ill, special needs and physically challenged children throughout the Greater Washington D.C. area.

In training camp in 2016, the question was posed to Head Coach Jay Gruden: Is there a better example for young players than Kerrigan?

“Not really, no," Gruden said. "He’s very humble, number one. Keeps to himself and does exactly what’s asked of him in practice. He practices hard; in fact, we have to pull him back a little bit because he practices so hard and we want to keep him healthy for the 16-week grind. He’s a top-notch guy, on and off the field, character-wise. He’s what you’re looking for.”

GAME RELEASE

JOSH NORMANWhen the Carolina Panthers rescinded cornerback Josh Nor-

man’s franchise tag and allowed the All-Pro defender to enter un-restricted free agency on April 20, roles instantly became reversed. The then-28-year-old lockdown corner became the subject of teams trying to lock down his services.

The Redskins mobilized quickly, dispatching members of the Redskins' coaching staff on April 22 to pick up Norman and his family from his Carolina home and bring them to team headquar-ters. The group arrived back in Ashburn early that afternoon, and after the full press and a family vote, Norman was a member of the Washington Redskins by 9:30 p.m.

“It was an exciting 24 hours there and we’re happy as heck to get him,” Head Coach Jay Gruden said. “I think he’s one of the pre-mier corners in the National Football League. He can matchup with receivers, he can play inside/outside, he’s got great ball skills, he’s a ball hawk. You can’t coach that – you really can’t.”

Norman joined the Redskins having previously appeared in 53 regular season games with 38 starts for Carolina, recording 178 tackles (136 solo), 36 passes defensed, seven interceptions (two returned for touchdowns), four forced fumbles and three fumbles recovered from 2012-15.

“I’m very, very fortunate enough to be here with this magnitude of an organization. I can’t say enough great things about them. The history here is 84-years-plus, so this is the golden age of foot-ball when you come down here to the NFC East. So I’m loving it.”

- Cornerback Josh Norman

In 2015, Norman started all 16 regular season games and all three postseason games for the Panthers, recording career highs in interceptions (four), forced fumbles (three) and fumbles recov-ered (two) in addition to tying for the league lead in interceptions returned for touchdowns (two). His highly decorated 2015 cam-paign resulted in a myriad of honors, including All-Pro selections from both the Associated Press and Pro Football Writers Associa-tion in addition to sharing PFWA Co-Most Improved Player of the Year honors with new teammate Kirk Cousins.

Norman’s accolades and productivity speak for themselves, but what kind of person were the Redskins getting? Gruden and the Redskins learned in 2016.

“I’ve been very impressed with Josh from the day that he got here," Gruden said. "He works extremely hard. He’s got a great en-ergy every single time that he walks out onto the field, and he’s the last one off the field. He’s attentive at meetings – he’s excellent. As far as his off-the-field ‘antics’ or on-the-field penalties that he’s gotten, he’s a physical football player. He’s in your face and he’s very competitive. You don’t want to change that about him at all; that’s what makes him, him. Obviously we might have to work on his hand placement in bump-and-run so he doesn’t hit the receiver in the head, but his aggression, his competitive style, that’s what drew us to him in the first place. We would never change that.”

CORNERBACK CORNER

BASHAUD BREELANDThe Redskins believed they found a gem in the fourth round of

the 2014 NFL Draft when they selected cornerback Bashaud Bree-land out of Clemson. He rewarded their faith as a rookie in 2014, leading the team with two interceptions and starting 15 games — the third-most by a Redskins rookie cornerback in team history be-hind only Champ Bailey (16 in 1999) and Pro Football Hall of Famer Darrell Green (16 in 1983).

In 2015, the signing of Chris Culliver and the return of DeAngelo Hall from injury was supposed to allow Breeland to flourish in nickel role, but various injuries to the Redskins’ secondary once again thrusted him into a starting role. Breeland compiled 81 tackles (59 solo), a team- and career-high 16 passes defensed, two intercep-tions, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 15 games, including a Week 9 contest in which he was limited by injury.

In Week 5 of the 2015 season, Breeland posted four passes de-fensed and his first interception of the season, playing a key role in helping limit Falcons receiver Julio Jones to only five receptions and no receiving touchdowns. A week later, Breeland turned in a career day, recording an interception, forced fumble and a career-high two fumble recoveries to become only the fifth NFL player since the turn of the century to record two fumble recoveries and an interception in a single game.

With picks in Weeks 5-6 that season, Breeland became the first member of the Redskins to record an interception in consecutive games since London Fletcher did so in three straight games across Weeks 14-16 of the 2012 season.

However, Breeland’s biggest play of the 2015 season may not have even ended with the ball in his hands. In Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Redskins had fought back from a 24-0 deficit to pull within three points. On a first down with slightly more than four minutes remaining, Tampa Bay running back Doug Mar-tin broke free down the right sideline with a clear path to a game-clinching touchdown. Breeland — coming from the opposite side of the field — was able to push Martin out-of-bounds after 49 yards at the Washington 5-yard line for a touchdown-saving stop.

Breeland injured his hamstring with the monstrous effort, but the Redskins’ defense responded by holding the Buccaneers to a field goal on the drive, allowing the Washington offense to drive down the field and score a touchdown to complete the largest comeback in franchise history.

After the game, Head Coach Jay Gruden noted the importance of Breeland’s stop in the midst of the second-year cornerback’s career-high 13-tackle day.

“At the end of the day, they score there, the game’s over. That shows what kind of guy he is,” Gruden said. “I talk about Breeland being an ultimate competitor. If he takes that one play off, or one instance and they go up by 10, the game’s over, most likely. And he hustled, got them down at the five. We got a big stop, held a field goal, we go down and score.”

GAME RELEASE

KICKER DUSTIN HOPKINSThe Redskins surprised many in Week 2 of the 2015 season

when they elected to move on from kicker Kai Forbath, the fran-chise leader in field goal percentage among players with at least 50 attempts, in favor of signing kicker Dustin Hopkins.

The results through 2016 have been hard to argue with, as Hopkins supplemented his field goal kicking with his status as a much-needed weapon in the field position battle.

“You look at the total package of what a kicker needs to bring to your football team and we were looking for a little bit of a stronger leg, especially on kickoffs,” Gruden said on the day the team signed Hopkins. “That’s the bottom line.”

Across the 2013-14 seasons, the Redskins ranked third-to-last in the NFL in touchback percentage, recording touchbacks on only 34.0 percent of kickoffs. Hopkins registered touchbacks on 117-of-166 kickoffs (70.5 percent) across the 2015-16 seasons, the fifth-best percentage of any NFL kicker.

Hopkins went 34-for-42 on field goal attempts in 2016, break-ing Mark Moseley's record (33 in 1983) for the most field goals in a single season in team history. In Week 3, he tied a team record with five field goals in a 5-for-5 performance in a victory as part of an NFC Special Teams Player of the Week and Player of the Month performance.

Beyond Hopkins’ ability to boot the ball through the uprights and through the back of the end zone, his ability to get it to stop and turn on a dime after 10 yards was vital to a Redskins’ victory against Tampa Bay in Week 7 of the 2015 season. After facing an early 24-0 deficit, the Redskins scored late in the first half and at the start of the second half to cut the lead to 24-14, at which point Gruden and Special Teams Coordinator Ben Kotwica turned to Hopkins to deliver a surprise onside kick early in the third. Receiver Rashad Ross batted the skidding ball to safety Trenton Robinson, ending a league-wide 0-for-24 skid on onside kick attempts to start the 2015 season. The onside kick helped jumpstart the Redskins en route to recording the largest comeback victory in franchise history.

“His onside kicks, they’re like magic balls. I don’t know how he keeps them in play.”

- Head Coach Jay Gruden

It was only the fourth successful onside kick by the Redskins since 2000 and ended a streak of 18 unsuccessful onside kick at-tempts by the Redskins over the previous nine seasons.

SPOTLIGHT ON SPECIAL TEAMS

PUNTER TRESS WAYIn recent years, the Redskins have expressed a desire to cre-

ate competition at every position and reward their own players who perform at high levels.

Punter Tress Way is emblematic of both ideals.The Redskins spent the majority of the 2014 offseason eval-

uating a punting battle between newcomers Robert Malone and Blake Clingan, but the race received a darkhorse candidate when the team claimed Way off waivers from Chicago on Aug. 20 that year. Way was given 10 days to stake a claim to the punting job.

Way accomplished the feat and has since posted historically relevant numbers, earned the special teams captaincy in 2015 and been rewarded with a multi-year contract extension in 2016.

In 2014, Way’s punting numbers rewarded the coaching staff’s faith. Way averaged 47.5 yards per punt, the 35th-best single-sea-son average in NFL history and the highest by a Redskins player since World War II.

Way finished the season averaging 47.5 yards per punt to rank fourth in team history, trailing only Sammy Baugh’s full-season NFL record (51.4 yards per punt in 1940) and Baugh’s 1941 and 1942 campaigns (48.7 and 48.2). Way became the first member of the Redskins to lead the NFL in punting for a season since Sam Baker in 1958 (45.4). It marked the seventh time a Redskins player had led the league in punting average since 1939.

While Way’s left leg has been on display since 2014, the Red-skins gave their third-year punter a chance to show off his right arm in Week 3 of the 2016 season. Locked in a tight, divisional road game against the New York Giants, Way threw a perfect spiral to cornerback Quinton Dunbar for a 31-yard gain on a fake punt to convert on fourth down. The fake punt was the Redskins’ first suc-cessful fake kick of any kind since Week 10 of the 2009 season vs. Denver, when punter Hunter Smith connected with fullback Mike Sellers for a 35-yard touchdown.

Though Way was new to Washington in 2014, he was no strang-er to playing for the Redskins. The University of Oklahoma prod-uct is a native of Tulsa, Okla., where he played his prep career for the Union H.S. Redskins. Part of the school’s pregame traditions include chanting “All My Life I Wanted To Be A Redskin.”

“I must’ve got 65, ‘All my life I wanted to be a Redskin’ texts,” Way told multiple news outlets after making the team’s roster.
