The Washington Redskins have been rumored to be looking for additional support at the linebacker position this offseason, and many believe that they could potentially sign one in free agency, or draft one in the later rounds of the NFL Draft.
The two most popular names at the position are Cole Holcomb and Reuben Foster; the former was an incredibly impressive rookie last year, and the latter is likely to return from a season-ending knee injury suffered last year, hoping to return to his previously dominant form. Outside of those two, though, people tend to forget about Shaun Dion Hamilton.
SDH quietly had a great season in 2019, racking up 49 tackles and one forced fumble in 16 games. He never earned a starting role under defensive coordinator Greg Manusky, but his production and PFF grades speak for themselves.
Hopefully, new DC Jack Del Rio will be able to recognize the 24-year-old’s talent, and further improve his game over the next few years.
