With their selection of S Kamren Curl in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Redskins picked up yet another defender who can play in multiple positions and make his presence felt across the field.
Curl had an impressive career at Arkansas, where he became a jack of all trades type player in their defense. Alongside fellow rookie LB/S Khaleke Hudson, Curl will be able to provide depth to the defensive secondary and fit in where need be if someone goes down with injury.
Curl started at strong safety over the last two years in college, and he will likely slot into a role learning behind Redskins’ Landon Collins, which is about as good of a situation a young player can find himself in.
According to multiple sources, Curl had a breakout year in his sophomore year at Arkansas, but he was suspended for the final game of the season because he was flirting with the opposing teams’ cheerleaders. It looks like confidence won’t be an issue here.
