Redemption now spelled: Ethan Albright
Reader(s) are asked to recall this ESPN Page 2 Article pointing out that our very own Ethan Albright, the Red Snapper himself, was once considered of low quality by a video game:
Within the pixilated world of the popular NFL video game, Albright isn't merely another anonymous special teamer. No such luck. According to the game's Byzantine individual skill ratings -- which measure everything from foot speed to spin-move ability to a player's effect on team morale -- he's the hands-down, rock-bottom worst player in the NFL.
At the time, Albright faked apathy:
One commenter noted that it was strange that any person could rank as low as Ethan in some categories:
It is the first Pro Bowl nod for Albright--and the first time the Redskins have had a long snapper make the Pro Bowl.
In other news, the team signed 14 players. Here is the guy who will actually make the team:
Westbrook signed with the Redskins in May 2007 as an undrafted rookie free agent. He spent last season on the practice squad and mimicked his brother Brian on the scout team in preparation for games against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 5-10, 194-pounder played his college ball at Salisbury. He is a Washington, D.C. native.

How do you choose...
And does a "Pro Bowl" long snapper get a bigger signing bonus? Does this honor take Albright out of Washington because of financial reasons?
