ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins safety D.J. Swearinger sat on the couch for nearly a half hour, going over his NFL story. Then he sat for another 15 doing the same with another reporter. Then he headed to the locker room to greet another round of media questions, about his own play and the arrival of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.
Yes, Swearinger is a popular player. He also happens to be a story for another reason: how well he’s playing.
“I feel I am the best safety in the league and I’ll continue to prove that,” Swearinger said.
