2nd year players look back on Rookie Mini-camp | Redskins.com
Quinn: A lot of plays, a lot of picking up, especially the first night, but I’m usually pretty good with learning the plays and stuff. I mean I studied for probably three hours the night before just to make sure I was caught up with everything and ready to go out and get in the huddle.

But nearly 40 years after his father improbably burst onto the NFL scene, Vinny Papale is determined to carve his own path to becoming a professional athlete.

Breaking down how the Redskins running back touches for 2019 | Fanspeak.com
Peterson is coming off a 1,042 yards and 7 rushing touchdown season, and the Redskins should start the season with him as the lead back. The fact that Peterson was that successful a year ago is even more impressive when you consider that the Redskins started 4 different QBs and had a revolving door of offensive linemen.
