DeAngelo Hall is entering his 13th NFL season and for the first time, he’ll be participating in training camp as a safety when the Washington Redskins begin on Thursday.
Hall began the transition midway through the 2015 season after his return from a right toe sprain and the Redskins believe he can be even more effective after dedicating a full offseason to making the switch. Likewise, Hall has mentioned he feels rejuvenated by the position change. At the end of organized team activities, he was excited to begin training camp.
Veteran cornerback Will Blackmon is also making the switch to safety after re-signing on a two-year deal.
