Commanders Post at The Warpath - Richard Crawford pick 7.6

The 5-foot-11, 189-pound Crawford exited a visit to Redskins Park two weeks ago feeling good about his chances of landing in Washington.

“I thought I would end up here,” he said.

Now he just needs to make the roster, which will be difficult even with a need for a corner who can cover in the slot. But Crawford has two things going for him: he said he’s comfortable covering in the slot and he can help as a return specialist.

Crawford also said SMU ran a similar defense as Washington, but with much more complexities in the scheme it’ll still be a transition.

He’s the third SMU player drafted by Washington the past two years and the second this year. The Redskins picked Josh LeRibeus in the third round. LeRibeus lost 70 pounds a year ago.

“We used to call him Xbox 360 because he was 360,” Crawford said.
