Shaun Dion Hamilton was a star for Redskins in Week 6 win

Shaun Dion Hamilton stood out in a big way for the Washington Redskins during the team’s Week 6 escape of the Miami Dolphins.

Tasked with holding strong in the face of a 17-16 final, the young linebacker put up an elite game in the grades department at Pro Football Focus, as seen in the tweet above.

On the stat sheet, Dion Hamilton registered three tackles and a pass defensed.

Dion Hamilton performing like a rock in the heart of the Redskins defense is starting to become a regular occurrence, with confidence there at least part of the reason the team was comfortable cutting veterans this offseason.

On the year, he has a 77.6 grade at PFF so far with 10 tackles and an interception. Dion Hamilton figures to remain a reliable presence for the future next to someone like Cole Holcomb, if not Reuben Foster.
