RICHMOND — Duke Ihenacho knows how cruel the results-driven professional sports business can be. The need to win never stops — often times leaving organizations with little use for players that can’t stay on the field and contribute.
The Washington Redskins’ 27-year-old strong safety appreciates the fact that he is in training camp competing with veteran David Bruton for the starting job, despite the fact that he’s played just 13 defensive snaps in the last two seasons after injuries have claimed his playing time. Then again, Ihenacho never doubted he’d get back to this point, zipping around the practice field with his trademark intensity during organized team activities and now in camp.
