Jordan Bernstine pick 7.10

[MTK]

Safety Jordan Bernstine (seventh round, 217), Iowa. He started one year at strong safety for the Hawkeyes, spending the rest of his time at corner. At 5-foot-11, 205 pounds he has decent size for strong safety. He said he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.42 seconds – that speed would be welcomed at safety.

“I’m athletic and I like to put my face in there,” he said. “I like to hit. I like to be a factor in the run game, but I can also cover the tight end or slot receivers.”

But he said he’s still getting used to taking proper angles at safety. The Redskins signed three safeties this offseason, though none are locks to start let alone make the roster. They also have second-year DeJon Gomes and Reed Doughty. But both likely will be backups this season.

Bernstine also averaged 23.8 yards on 30 kickoff returns as a senior (placing him seventh in the Big Ten). He’s considered an excellent special teamer.
