Training camp got going again in Washington on Saturday morning, and it was another strong showing for the defense, as you would expect from such a strong unit.
However, the unit that is stepping up more than expected is in the secondary, specifically at the cornerback position. It was a dire situation for CBs in Washington last year, with very little experience among the group, and even less production. This year, however, Washington has brought in some new blood in Kendall Fuller and Ronald Darby, and even the players underneath them in the depth chart are stepping up quite a bit.
The latest player to break out in camp in Greg Stroman, Washington’s seventh-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
CB Greg Stroman has really come on as of late. Two interceptions in as many practices, and he had another before the media were allowed to watch. Washington needs CB depth, and Stroman is making his case.

Stroman played in 15 games during his rookie season but was added to the injured/reserve list last season. His return to the team now seems to be incredibly valuable, though, as Washington looks for some depth at the position behind the starting line.
With a couple of weeks left before the start of the season begins, Stroman is definitely a name to keep your eye on. If he keeps this production up, there is little doubt that he will make the final roster cut, and chances are that he can get into the CB rotation as well.
