Before the regular season starts and the team is cut down to the final 53-man roster, I present the final installation of Camp Crushes: Volume III - the Honorable Mentions & Hall of Fame.
Who doesn't love Lorenzo Alexander? I dare you to find someone in the DMV who isn't a fan of this perennial contributor. From his work on special teams, to his development at outside linebacker and off-season rumors of him training at tight end, #97 is both a fan and coach favorite. Not to mention, he is, by all accounts, a really nice guy.
Unlike his numerical predecessor, #98 is not without critics. Despite complaints that he has not progressed quickly enough and that injuries have held him back recently, Orakpo is a crucial element in our defense and I believe he will one day be remembered as an elite player and a Redskins ring of famer.
I don't know who this trainer is, but hello! Thanks for taking care of our boys.
And for the Hall of Fame entry... who else but the ever so charming locker room leader whose off-season contract negotiation delays sent all of Redskins fandom into a panic. London Fletcher, the inspiration behind my London Calling t-shirt, is respected throughout the league in which he led in tackles last season and, at 37-years old, shows no signs of slowing down.
My parting shot, this image made me incredibly happy - seasoned veteran and second year stud, I cannot wait to see them both on the field this year.
