Decisions Are In: Redskins to Sign Six
Posted: Mon May 02, 2005 8:54 pm
More than 50 Redskin hopefuls came to Rookie Camp last weekend as certifiable long-shots. By Monday, six of them had completed the first step of their NFL dream.
Following the three-day Rookie Camp, the Redskins agreed to terms with six undrafted free agents on Monday.
Jon Alston, OL, South Carolina
Adrian Gonzalez, OL, Louisiana Tech
Pedro Holiday, WR, Middle Tennessee State
Charles Howard, DE, Florida State
Zak Keasey, LB, Princeton
Dominique Richardson, OL, Howard
Of that group, Keasey could be the most intriguing since he's coming out of the Ivy League. The 6-1, 230-pounder logged 127 tackles last year for Princeton, earning him second-team All American honors. His final collegiate game featured a career-best 22 tackles.
Howard is a 6-3, 265-pound defensive lineman who has experience playing both end and tackle. Last season, he recorded 17 tackles and five sacks for the Seminoles.
Holiday is a 6-1, 182-pound speedster who starred at track and field at Middle Tennessee State. As a reserve wide receiver last season, Holiday logged 16 catches for 176 yards and one touchdown.
The three offensive linemen signed to the roster are all sizable athletes. Alston is 6-5 and 306 pounds, Gonzalez is 6-5 and 328 pounds and Richardson is 6-4 and 301 pounds.
To make room for the six newcomers, the Redskins released the following players on Monday: defensive back Ray Custis, offensive linemen Dan Goodspeed, Brett Hodge and Scott Paffrath, wide receiver Tiger Jones and linebacker Devin Lemons.
