Back with the Redskins first with the practice squad and then on the 53-man active roster, Lynden Trail received his first regular season action on Saturday against the Bears.
Redskins linebacker Lynden Trail has been through a lot more than a typical first-year pro.
A four-star high school recruit in 2010, Trail committed to Florida. But after a redshirt season and a lack of playing time, Trail decided to transfer to Norfolk State.
The Miami native thrived at Norfolk State. He made the first-team All-MEAC, was a two-time finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award as the top defender at the FCS level and was selected the National FCS Defensive Performer of the Year by the College Football Performance Awards.
