Redskins Free Agency 2016

[Schneed10]

I read this piece, saw this sentence:

It wasn’t that long ago, but it’s easy to forget. At the beginning of training camp last year, Niles Paul was named the starting tight end for the Washington Redskins, a designation he earned after signing a new contract, bulking up close to 30 pounds and impressing coaches during OTAs.

And I was like WTF what real fan could have forgotten that? Reed had a dominant season last year, and that came after Paul beat him out in camp for the starting spot and then lost that spot only because of major injury.

Paul is one of my favorite Redskins and he's going to show why by working harder than anybody, coming back and burying Vernon Davis on the depth chart. If it has anything to do with heart and effort, it will happen. If it's a physical limitation due to the injury, then that's a shame, because I thought he was on the verge of a major breakout.

Pulling for him.

With Vernon Davis In The Mix, Niles Paul Is Ready For The Competition
