It’s no secret the Washington Redskins are shopping for another quarterback — team officials have acknowledged as much publicly several times in the lead-up to Thursday’s NFL draft.
The surprise may be the degree to which the team is looking.
The Redskins, who have injured franchise quarterback Alex Smith and two former NFL starters in Colt McCoy and Case Keenum on the roster already, have met with at least nine quarterback draft prospects this offseason. Only the New York Giants, with 11, have met with more, according to Pro Football Focus.
With just a couple of days left before decision time, though, the Redskins are playing it close to the vest.
