Breaking Down What Terrance Knighton Brings to Washington Redskins Defense

Off all the moves general manager Scot McCloughan made to improve the Washington Redskins this offseason, his biggest was undoubtedly the best. Big is certainly the word to describe new nose tackle Terrance Knighton.

It amply describes the player himself, although it usually require a prefix such as "super-" or "mega-" to really do the (alleged) 6'3", 331-pounder justice. But big is also the word to describe Knighton's impact for a rebuilding team desperate to find a winning formula after losing 25 games in the last two years.

Knighton brings a winner's mentality from his time with the AFC powerhouse Denver Broncos, but a determined and positive outlook will only take a team so far.
