Just spoke with UAB LB Marvin Burdette's agent -- he's in the middle of negotiations with the #Redskins. Has drawn comparisons to Fletcher.

This is great for Hubbard, the Steelers, didn't draft an offensive lineman.

They signed several to rookie contracts though.

As a Washington fan, that would make me extremely happy.

Great News!!! The O-Line is one of our major sore spots and the Guard position is in dire need of talent especially since the release of Willie Colon. We had major problems last season with our first rounder injured during PG-4, so the two guards usually on the practice squad were activated numerous times during the regular season until DeCastro came back. I think he has the talent to earn a roster spot. It will be great having Blazer representation in Black and Gold Nation!!!

Yeah, if he makes the squad, I might actually go to some games!
