He signed a free agent contract with the Skins having played at Tennessee as a DE. While his stats aren't all that impressive and he went undrafted he did interrupt his college career to carry out his two year Mormon mission helping out hurricane victims. In 2003 he apparently showed good potential at DE, registering a couple of sacks and starting 11 games but then took his two years off and came back in 2006 rusty and out of shape. He attended a Redskins mini-camp and they have given him a free agent contract.

This may say more about the Redskins current DE depth but he must have shown something. From what we can tell he is clearly a 'high character' guy so let's hope that he can be a success and maybe make the team.
