2015 Mark Moseley Special Team Player of the Year: Dustin Hopkins

Added to the roster in Week 2 of the regular season, Dustin Hopkins provided the Redskins a consistent performer on field goals and a strong leg on kickoffs.

Finding his place in the NFL did not come easily for Dustin Hopkins.

After being selected in the sixth round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills, Hopkins was ruled inactive for the first five games of his rookie season and then placed on Injured Reserve, missing the rest of the year with a groin injury.

After the kicker from Florida State spent the next offseason between the Bills and New Orleans Saints, he became a free agent, open for the taking.
