Petitgout Visits Redskins Park

Free agent offensive lineman Luke Petitgout visited Redskins Park on Monday.
Petitgout has played his entire 8-year NFL career with the New York Giants. He has mostly played left tackle throughout his time with the Giants.

In 1999, Petitgout's rookie season, he started eight games at left guard. A year later, he moved to right tackle, where he started all 16 games.

In 2001, Petitgout moved to left tackle, a position he has occupied through last season.

If signed by the Redskins, the 6-6, 310-pounder could be slotted to take over the left guard position. Derrick Dockery, last year's starter, signed with the Buffalo Bills last Friday.

Petitgout could also serve as a backup at either tackle positions along the offensive line.

Petitgout was slowed by back problems in 2003, but otherwise has been durable and consistent with the Giants. He has missed just 15 games in his career, started 106-of-113 games.

Last season, Petitgout started nine games at left tackle, then suffered a fractured fibula that sidelined him for the remainder of the season.

Petitgout, who grew up in Milford, Del., played his college ball at Notre Dame. He was the Giants' first-round draft pick (19th overall) in the 1999 NFL Draft.

If HEALTHY? he might be a good fit?
