Darrel Young remembers what it was like to be considered nothing more than “just a training camp body.”
Originally brought on with the Redskins as a linebacker, Young didn’t have a long-term contract like some of his teammates.
He didn’t even have a helmet sticker – a move made by previous coaching staffs to differentiate players.
So goes life as a college free agent.
“The guys who had stickers, names on the back of their jerseys, [were] the guys they signed in the draft and free agent guys,” Young said.
