2015 NFL Draft: Redskins Sign 7th Round C Austin Reiter to 3 Year Deal

The first player from the Redskins 2015 draft class is under contract

The Washington Redskins have reportedly signed South Florida center Austin Reiter to a 3 year deal, with a $75,000 signing bonus(approx.).  Reiter(6'3", 300 lbs) was the Redskins final pick in this year's draft, taken in the 7th round with the 222nd overall pick.  He is a long shot to make the roster, but already has an impressive amount of support for the 2015 Mason/Brennan Hype! Awards.  It could be the perfect storm for Reiter to win the award multiple times this year with an incumbent veteran and backup at his position that many fans would like to see replaced, an athletic, strong player, and the allure of Scot McCloughan finding late round gems.
