Even though he was signed on Tuesday, Brian de la Puente, a veteran center who has earned positive reviews, could start in his Redskins debut.
The sentiment was the same with new teammates and old ones.
While Brian de la Puente will be learning the Redskins’ system on the fly, perhaps even starting this Sunday against the Saints, he’s a smart and talented player that should have no issue dealing with so much in such a short time.
“He is a really smart football player, really did a great job for us, was part of some really great offenses with us,” said Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who worked with de la Puente from 2011-13.
