20 of the active 53 players currently on the Washington Redskins roster were acquired by new General Manager Scot McCloughan. That, of course, means that 33 players on the 53 man roster are products of the past regime.
Seven of those 20 McCloughan-acquired players came via the 2015 NFL Draft (one undrafted). Three of those rookies are starters for the team (if you include Kysheon Jarrett in nickel packages). Preston Smith and Matt Jones are key contributors to the team — rivaling and/or overtaking the team’s starter in snaps at their respective positions. In all, at least 11 of the 20 McCloughan-acquired players have become key contributors or starters for the team.
Scot McCloughan is getting instant production from players acquired outside the first round. I can’t recall the last time that’s happened. Each player McCloughan has added is contributing in some form to the new attitude of this ball club.
