The Redskins have signed more special teams competition in the form of journeyman kicker Dave Rayner and Canadian Football League star kick returner Dominique Dorsey.<\/p>\n

Rayner was originally drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in 2005 but had his most productive season with the Green Bay Packers in 2006, scoring 109 points. <\/p>\n

Dorsey won the CFL’s Outstanding Special Teams Player award, along with several other pieces of hardware in a 2008 season that saw him lead the CFL with 2,892 all-purpose yards despite missing five games with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n

Arguably his most memorable play came from a 129-yard missed field goal return for a touchdown in 2007 in his first game with the Toronto Argonauts.<\/p>\n
