Greg Stroman got thrown into the fire and responded well for the Washington Redskins.
Stroman, the 241st pick in the draft, saw a bigger-than-expected workload when other Redskins defensive backs went down with injury.
On this sample size, Stroman came out looking great among rookies, per Pro Football Focus:
Viewed as a longshot and better known for his special teams play in college, at least in terms of pro projections, Stroman was a pleasant surprise for a Redskins team needing a few of those these days.
If Stroman can roll this into a strong sophomore season, it makes life easier on a Redskins team that will have to start thinking about the cornerback position again with Josh Norman getting up there in age.
