RICHMOND – Brandon Scherff used rookie minicamp and the other offseason practices to squash all of the butterflies. The nerves are gone now, the offensive lineman says. A different level of excitement and determination have replaced those feelings.
Now, he understands, it’s time to dig in and continue to build on the foundation that Bill Callahan installed in his mind, and continue to ready himself for the weekly tests he’ll encounter as an NFL lineman.
Washington’s first-round pick this year, and the top offensive lineman in the draft, Scherff was awarded the starting right tackle position from Day 1.
