Dashon Goldson: Redskins' team-building mirrors what 49ers went through

Dashon Goldson considers himself fortunate in the sense that he has had the opportunity to play for three different teams throughout his nine seasons in the NFL.

In his six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, he emerged into a leader that helped turn a 6-10 team into one that made it to the NFC Championship and the Super Bowl in consecutive seasons. His two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were much different, and rather difficult, as Goldson struggled to find his identity both on the field and in the locker room.

Though there is a stark contrast between Goldson’s time in San Francisco and Tampa Bay, he joined the Washington Redskins ready to deliver the same message he has always tried to impart on his teammates.
