Last year, Will Redmond was best known as former general manager Trent Baalke’s most confounding pick of the 2016 draft.

This season, Redmond hopes to be known as a capable slot cornerback.

And he thinks can do just that because he’s no longer thinking about his knee that was surgically repaired in 2015.

“It’s been two years; it’s time to move on,” Redmond said before finishing the thought with a smile: “What knee?”

In 2016, Redmond became the final member of what derisively became known as Team ACL: The seven players Baalke drafted since 2013 who were rehabilitating from major knee injuries when they were selected.
