Mike Shanahan announced today, that Washington Redskins defensive tackle Chris Neild, has a torn ACL and will be done for the season.
After a Cinderella rookie campaign that saw the West Virginia product get drafted with the next-to-last pick in the NFL Draft, only to not only make the Redskins final 53-man roster, but make a considerable and valuable contribution in his first year. He appeared in 15 games (162 plays), registering 10 tackles, and two sacks.
What do you say about a guy who gets drafted with the second to very last pick of the draft, and beats out a 5-year veteran to make the active roster in his rookie season?
Well I said this before he made the team, and I thought it was appropriate to do up a wallpaper graphic for such a meat-and-potatoes guy. I had a couple of game photos that came courtesy of Jake and Teri Russell, and I couldn’t decide which ones to use. So I used two of them! I liked both shots but couldn’t think of a theme that would use both, so I did up two completely different graphics.
